[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution, take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin for the changes all around, pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday, then I'll get on my knees and pray
We won't be fooled again

[Verse 2]
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
History just ain't changed 'cause the banners, they're all flown in this next war

[Chorus]
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution, take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin for the changes all around, pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday, then I'll get on my knees and pray
We won't be fooled again (He- hey)

[Verse 3]
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we just happen to be left half alive
I'll get my papers and I smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
There's nothing in the street that looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced by the by
And the parting on the left is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
[Chorus]
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution, take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin for the changes all around, pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday, then I'll get on my knees and pray
We won't be fooled again, oh, no

[Post-Chorus]
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Same as the old boss (a, na)

[Outro]
Come on, feel it
Come on
