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 don't get fooled again 

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 are flown in the next 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 
Then I'll get on my knees and pray 
We don't get fooled again 
No, no! 

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? 

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 

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! 

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! 

Meet the new boss 
Same as the old boss
