There'll be fighting in the streets
And we'll have children at our feet
And the morals that we worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Decide the judgment of all wrong
They decide, and a 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 changes all around
Pick up my guitar and I'll play, just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and I'll pray
Don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from a foe, that's all
But the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause 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 changes all around
Pick up my guitar and I'll play, just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and I'll pray
Don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half-alive
I'll get all my papers and I'll smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Nothing in the street looks any different to me
The same slogans are replaced, line by line
And the party on the left is now the party 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 changes all around
Pick up my guitar and I'll play, just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and I'll pray
Don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
