Won't Get Fooled Again (lyrics)

[James Sigel <JSigel@winston.com>]

For my bud Howard:

(Note: I'm going off the top of my head so their might be SLIGHT differences)

We'll be fighting in the street with our children at our feet
And the morals that they'd 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 don't get fooled again.

The change-it had to come.  We knew it all along
We were liberated long before that song
But the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed 'cause the banners they'd all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat...

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 you?

There's nothing in the streets that looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced by the by.
And the parting on the left is now a parting on the right
And the beards of all grown longer over night.

I'll tip my hat...

Meet the new boss; same as the old boss.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               !
