We Won’t Get Fooled Again Lyrics by Murray Head

My Back Pages

0

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 all flown in the next war
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
There’s nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the party on the left
Is now the party on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
No, we don't get fooled again
We don't get fooled again
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Don't get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
