Lyrics

[00:44.56] We'll be fighting in the streets
[00:48.06] With our children at our feet
[00:51.56] And the morals that they worship will be gone
[00:58.73] The men who spurred us on
[01:02.18] Sit in judgment of all wrong
[01:05.87] They decide and the shotgun sings the song
[01:10.78]
[01:13.10] I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
[01:16.67] Take a bow for the new revolution
[01:20.27] Smile and grin at the change all around
[01:23.96] Pick up my guitar and play
[01:27.48] Just like yesterday
[01:30.78] Then I'll get on my knees and pray
[01:38.20] We don't get fooled again
[01:40.93]
[01:54.27] The change it had to come
[01:57.68] We knew it all along
[02:01.04] We were liberated from the fold that's all
[02:08.19] The world looks just the same
[02:11.72] And history ain't blamed
[02:15.36] 'Cause the banners, they are flown in the last war
[02:20.48]
[02:22.56] I raise my hat to the new constitution
[02:26.07] Take a bow for the new revolution
[02:29.63] Smile and grin at the change all around
[02:33.15] Pick up my guitar and play
[02:36.81] Just like yesterday
[02:40.18] Then I'll get on my knees and pray
[02:47.61] We don't get fooled again
[02:50.98] No, no!
[02:52.36]
[03:24.76] I'll move myself and my family aside
[03:28.94] If we happen to be left half alive
[03:32.04] Get all my papers and smile at the sky
[03:35.66] Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
[03:39.73]
[03:47.59] Do ya?
[03:48.45]
[04:36.13] There's nothing in the street
[04:39.11] Looks any different to me
[04:42.88] And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
[04:50.01] The parting on the left
[04:53.32] Is now parting on the right
[04:57.08] And the beards have all grown longer overnight
[05:01.59]
[05:04.41] I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
[05:08.01] Take a bow for the new revolution
[05:11.43] Smile and grin at the change all around
[05:15.15] Pick up my guitar and play
[05:18.73] Just like yesterday
[05:22.09] Then I'll get on my knees and pray
[05:29.35] We don't get fooled again
[05:33.31] Don't wanna get fooled again
[05:36.76] No, no!
[05:38.87]
[07:52.66] Meet the new boss
[07:56.02] Same as the old boss
[07:59.22]
