Won't Get Fooled Again
|
(The Who)
|
|
We'll be fighting in the streets
|
With our children at our feet
|
And the morals that they worship will be gone
|
And the men who spurred us on
|
Sit in judgement of all wrong
|
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
|
|
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
|
Take a bow for the new revolution
|
Smile and grin at the change all around
|
Pick up my guitar and play
|
Just like yesterday
|
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
|
We won't get fooled again
|
|
The change, it had to come
|
We knew it all along
|
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
|
And the world looks just the same
|
And history ain't changed
|
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war
|
|
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
|
Take a bow for the new revolution
|
Smile and grin at the change all around
|
Pick up my guitar and play
|
Just like yesterday
|
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
|
We won't get fooled again
|
|
No, no
|
|
I'll move myself and my family aside
|
If we happen to be left half alive
|
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
|
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
|
|
Do ya
|
|
Yeah
|
|
There's nothing in the streets
|
Looks any different to me
|
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
|
And the parting on the left
|
Is now parting on the right
|
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
|
|
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
|
