About Won't Get Fooled Again

"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the UK, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track on the band's 1971 album Who's Next, released that August. Townshend wrote the song as a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had found in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of human traits into a synthesizer and used it as the main backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often as the set closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band. more »

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 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  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  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  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
