Won't Get Fooled Again

"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the British 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 8½-minute version appears as the final track on their fifth studio album Who's Next, released that August.

This was a background song in the episode Treasure Behind the Persian Remnants, the ninth episode in season 1 of Unknown Theory.

Lyrics
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 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 fold 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 vow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And 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 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 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!

[infamous scream] Meet the new boss Same as the old boss
