Lyrics
Verse
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
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 last 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 (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 you? (Do you?)
Yeah!
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 the 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 (no, no)
Yeah, yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Yeah, yeah
We won't get fooled again
No, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah..
