We'll be fighting in the street
|
With our children at our feet
|
And the morals that they worship will be gone
|
And the men who spurred us on
|
Sit in judgment of all wrong
|
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
And I'll get on my knees and pray...
|
We don't get fooled again
|
|
The change it had to come
|
We knew it all along
|
We were liberated from the foe, that's all
|
And the world looks just the same
|
And history ain't changed
|
'Cause the banners, they all were flown, in the last war
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
|
|
Do ya?
|
|
There's nothing in the street
|
Looks any different to me
|
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-by
|
And the parting on the left
|
Is now parting on the right
|
And their beards have all grown longer overnight
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Yeah!!!
|
|
Meet the new boss,
|
Same as the old boss...
|
