We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worshiped will be gone

And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment, they're all wrong
They decide when the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a vow 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, fooled again, yeah

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
Well, history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in from last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a vow 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, yeah
We don't get fooled again, no, don't get fooled again

I could 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?

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
'Cause it's a new revolution
And we don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
