Richie Havens - Won't Get Fooled Again lyrics

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 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 for the changes all around Pick up my guitar and play just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We won't be 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 History just ain't changed 'cause the banners They're all flown in this next war And I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin for the changes all around Pick up my guitar and play just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray, hey We don't get fooled again I'll move myself and my family aside If we just happen to be left half alive I'll get my papers and I smile at the sky Though I know that the hypnotized never lie There's nothing in the street That looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced by the by And the parting on the left Is now the parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight And I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the changes 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, oh no Meet the new boss Same as the old boss Meet the new boss Same as the old boss Same as the old boss Come on, feel it Come on
