Who - Won't get fooled again 1971

Who - Won't get fooled again 1971

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 me
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'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
For I know that the hypnotized never lie

(Instrumental)

There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the 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 me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

[diana irizarry]

you are so completely right!!

[diana irizarry]

right on

[Handy Andy]

you can't mass produce that sound. 100 years from now the who will be looked on as a band reflecting the face of the times of the 1960's. if you want to know what the children of those times were thinking, listen to the who, the emotional response you get is timeless. that will be history 101. their chemistry and combination & harnessing the wild man Keith Moon on drums, Roger, Pete & John was pure magic. Pete townsend also an excellent writer. great video, thanks for posting.

i agree broad.. it's an americanism.....sophomore is just another name for " jailbait "

[AllisterCooper2008]

That, along with Led's 'Rock and Roll', Maiden's 'Number of the Beast', and 'Welcome to the Jungle' by Guns n' Roses!

[broadband0118]

It is Americana or US English, i.e. NOT English.

[broadband0118]

I said it's not a word in English and indeed it is not. As far as I am aware "Americana" is not a language. So sharpen up young man!
