Well 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 judgment of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song Ill 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 ill get on my knees and pray We dont get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, thats all And the world looks just the same And history aint changed Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war Ill 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 ill get on my knees and pray We dont get fooled again No, no! Ill move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive Ill get all my papers and smile at the sky Though I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? Theres nothing in the streets Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Are now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight Ill 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 ill get on my knees and pray We dont get fooled again Dont get fooled again No, no! Yeah! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss
