Won't Get Fooled Again

Van Halen


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 don'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 don'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?
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 are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight 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 don't get fooled again no, no!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! meet the new boss same as the old boss
