1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship
Will be gone
And the man who spurred us on,
said in judgement of our wrongs
They decide and the shotgun
sings the song
I take my hand 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
But I get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the foe,
that's all
And the world looks just the same,
and history ain't changed
Cause the banners they're all flown
in the last war
I 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
Better get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no
I move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the dick that dies never lies
Do ya?
There's nothing in the street
that looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced by the by
And the pouting on the left
is now a pouting on the right
And the beards have all grown
longer overnight
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
And I get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no
You know, you know, you know,
you know
Yeah!
Meet the new boss
The same as the old boss
