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 the song,
sitting judgment of all wrong,
they decided
the shotgun sings the song.
I tip my hat to the new Constitution,
take a bow for the new revolution.
I ain't ready to change all around,
pick up my guitar and play.
Just like yesterday,
I'll get on my knees and pray.
We don't get fooled again.
No, no.
The change, it had to come.
We knew it all along.
We were liberated from the foe, that's all.
But the world looks just the same.
And history ain't changed.
Because the banners they all flung in the last war.
I tip my hat to the new Constitution,
take a bow for the new revolution.
I ain't ready to change all around,
pick up my guitar and play.
Just like yesterday,
I'll get on my knees and pray.
We don't get fooled again.
Don't get fooled again.
I move
myself and I'll bear me aside.
If we happen to be left half alive,
I'll get all my papers and smile.
Let the sky,
oh,
I know that the hypnotized never lie.
There's nothing in the sea that looks any different to me.
And the slogans are a place far to buy.
And the party on the left
is now partying on the right.
And the bids have all gone longer for the night.
I tip my hat to the new Constitution,
take a bow for the new revolution.
I ain't ready to change all around,
pick up my guitar and play.
Just like yesterday,
I'll get on my knees and pray.
We don't get fooled again.
Don't get fooled again.
