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 judgment 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…
(cuz the banners, they are 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!*)
(no no!)
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’…)
(do ya?)
VERSE 3:
there’s nothing in the streets…
looks any different to me…
(and the ‘slogans’ are replaced, ‘by-the-bye’)
and the ‘parting’ on the ‘left’…
are now ‘parting’ 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!”
“don’t get fooled again!”
“no no!”
OUTRO:
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
meet the ‘new boss’…
same as the ‘old boss’…
