| | Won't Get Fooled Again Lyrics Artist(Band):The Who
With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgment 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 And I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again Change it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fall 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 change all around me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again 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 Do ya? 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 We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no!

Review about Won't Get Fooled Again fs | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/8/09 lol at the guy comparing it to animal farm.... perhaps you should take more time to listen to the music than try to break it down into something that its just not..... You realise that you can compare anything with anything else if you think about it long enough enjoy the bloody music folk an give the analytical shit a rest We have met the enemy and he is we! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/18/09 Human nature will out. Reminds me most of the book Animal Farm. The revolution was warranted, the revolutionaries were true believers, and after the tyrants were run off...the new rulers turned out to be pigs. To quote another song of the old days, "The beat goes on." The lyricist says that the only answer is to cultivate your own little garden as best you can. We will get fooled again and again. Lah-dee-dah-dee-dee, la-dee-dah-dee-dah.... Aging hippie English teacher Revolution! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/17/09 "This song is about what happens in all "revolutions." It's about idiots who think utopia is somehow an option. -------------------------------------- I disagree with that. Russia needed a revolution because there was a monarquic goverment and Cuba also needed a revolution because it was invaded by the USA Best Rock 'n Roll song ever written! | Reviewer: Cowcharge | 8/28/09 It is the best. I interpret it to mean don't bother with revolutionaries or "change", because despite the pretty speeches, they're all the same (as the latest bunch have proven, 50% approval rating and plunging, as soon as it hits 49%, that's the third fastest plunge since WW2, lol, and you thought Bush was bad, lol). This song is applicable to any administration I've ever seen, or probably will ever see. Anyway, forget politics and jam is what he's saying. I just hope Limp Bizkit doesn't butcher this one too. what a song! | Reviewer: shooey | 7/31/09 unbelievable that u lot review this song in an 'in deep mode' it's such a well written, well produced and sung brilliantly,,,, just lose yourself in it rather than try and review it like the pretentious people u try to be..... The song remains the same.... | Reviewer: Miguel | 7/11/09 Face it, the old boss and the new boss are one in the same. That's the only message of this song. No matter how much things seem to change, do they ever really get much different or are we just kidding ourselves. For those Obama lovers out there with your mantra of "Change", join the club of fools. We still have wars, we still have poverty, we still have hunger, and we still have injustice. Welcome to the new world of Obama. Sure looks a hell of a lot like the old world of everyone else. Oh no not the Kool-aid line again! | Reviewer: Sherri2012 | 6/5/09 Dear God, I thought I escaped that tired old Kool-aid stuff when I skipped over here from Newsvine! It just keeps turning up like a bad penny, ad nauseum.....please all you cons, find something new to say!! To the song: Great lyrics, really classic. Seems like no matter what changes a government goes through (including an actual revolution), a government is still a government is a government is a..... Meet the old boss....same as the new boss. Says it all! it simple | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/31/09 This song was about the radical political youth of the 60's. They were simply and often perjoratively called "rads". They were always trying to stir up shit with protests. Rock musicaians while they may have had political beleifs were not into radical activism. For the very reason mentioned in the song it always ends bad. All the Obama Kool aid drinkers should take note. ....and conservatives? | Reviewer: Plouis | 5/19/09 "This song is about what happens in all "revolutions." It's about idiots who think utopia is somehow an option. Then they get duped by power-hungry fascists like Stalin and Castro. BUT A STALIN COULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT A LENIN, AND A CASTRO COULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT A CHEZ GUERRA TO PAVE THE WAY. You're already fooled again." And just the same, those on the right were equally fooled, but they seem to enjoy it, even though it was the late, great Ronald Reagan who paved the way for that buffoon GWB. dont be fooled for long. go your way or with the flow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/17/09 i think that 'wont get fooled again' means that you shouldn't bother with any revolution again. if the place doesn't fit you, take you staff and your family and move someplace else. the system is so strong that it has always been like this. the strong ruling the weak by any means of power, especially corruption and deceiving. for the strong, corruption and chaos is good for the economy and advancement. it has always been like this for ever. there is not enough room on the top of the pyramid. it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll,acdc. So if you are smart enough you will go with the flow and follow the system or else you will be crashed like a roach. you see, only the good die young and only evil seems to live for ever. this goes in all aspects of life, especially in the city. if you are good you get fucked.
