I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
The change, it had to come, we knew it all along
Take a bow for the new revolution
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
And the world looks just the same and history ain't changed
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
Smile and grin at the change all around
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
Don't get fooled again, no no
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
We don't get fooled again
We don't get fooled again
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
Pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
And the parting on the left is now parting on the right
Smile and grin at the change all around
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Take a bow for the new revolution
Meet the new boss
Yeah
We don't get fooled again, no no
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war
Do ya?
There's nothing in the streets, looks any different to me
And the men who spurred us on sit in judgment of all wrong
Smile and grin at the change all around
They decide and then the shotgun sings the song
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
Pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday
Pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
