Hi Miriam,
Surely all of this is intensely frustrating for those of us who believe that
way too much emphasis has been placed upon military action. No doubt that the
Wall Stream media has been welcoming the hawks and shunning the doves for a
very long time.
When it comes to foreign policy and military intervention abroad, the Who's
"won't get fooled again seems to bee the way of things and it has been now
since 1980.
Whether it's Ray Gun, Daddy Bush, Bubba, The Shrub, the prince of Peace and
(probably soon to come) Ms. President Bubba, it has and will continue to be a
case of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
"Won't Get Fooled Again"
By the Who
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?
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
Bob Hachey
