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

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 won't get fooled again

The change it had to come

We knew it all along

And the liberated from the fall

that's all

And the world looks

just the same

And history ain't changed

'Cos the banners

they all flown in the last war

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

I 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

Yaaaaaa!

There's nothing in the streets

Looks any different to me

And the slogans are replaced

by the by

And the parting on the left

Is now parting on the right

And the beards have all grown longer overnight

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 won't get fooled again
