Won't Get Fooled Again

"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the Who, written by Pete Townshend. The song appears as the final track on the band's 1971 album Who's Next. It is one of their most popular and well-known songs. In the Henry Stickmin series, the song is briefly heard in the Stealing the Diamond pathway Just Plain Epic, during the CCC Central Branch scene (a reference to CSI: Miami). This was removed in the remastered version to avoid copyright, and replaced with a stock sound effect of a laugh track.

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 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

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?

Yeah

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

Yeah Meet the new boss Same as the old boss
