Lyrics for Song: Won't Get Fooled Again
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Who, The
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
(small instrumental)
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
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!
(instrumental)
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?
(instrumental)
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
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 don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
(instrumental)
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Won't Get Fooled Again
Released by The Who in 1967, 'Won't Get Fooled Again' stands as a defining track of the psychedelic rock era, blending the band's signature power chords with intricate, improvisational guitar work led by Keith Moon. The song features a distinctive, looping guitar riff that became an iconic element of their live performances and studio recordings. It reflects the band's exploration of complex musical structures and social commentary during the height of the 1960s counterculture movement. As a staple of The Who's discography, the recording showcases their ability to merge aggressive energy with melodic sophistication, cementing their status as pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal. |
