We'll be fightin' 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
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
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, don't get fooled again, no, no, no
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
Get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie, do ya?
There's nothin' in the streets, looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced by the bye
And the partin' on the left is now partin' 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, no, no, no
Don't get fooled again
Yeah, meet the new boss, same as the old boss
