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
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 all flown in the last 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
For 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!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

It's 2021, and I've been working from home for 11 months. My 33 year-old step-son is in the basement, and every once in a while I'll play something loud, and he'll come upstairs and in his ADHD way say something like "That's pretty loud."

For several reasons, this song must be played loud. And I expect this is going to be one of those days.

Update: He did come upstairs. And it was very loud. 10/10.

Has anyone else noticed that the song title is won’t get fooled again but Daltry sings we don’t get fooled again? What’s up with that? Genius.

Quintessential rock song
4 band members that are masters of their  craft (Moon and Entwistle are outstanding)
anti establishment lyrics that resonate today as much as they did nearly 50 years ago.
OUTSTANDING!!

Love the Live Aid connection. The Who followed Queen at Wembley (poor buggers - they must've wondered what hit them with how good Queen were that afternoon). Both Hammer To Fall and Won't Get Fooled Again were played that day. Queen made HTF sound good. WGFA is always superb.

Recuerdo perfectamente cuando conocí a The Who: fue el 13 de julio de 1985, en la transmisión de TV del Live Aid, justo con esta canción. Desde el primer segundo me atrapó.

Yup. The way those drums break over the synthesizer bridge; impending, the way the drum rolls in the William Tell Overture hint at something to come. In this case, those drums are leading us to the most definitive scream in musical history....

Not that I want to get into this, but it's funny in its fashion.  The Creator, it seems, isn't with a sense of....humor?  The generation who made this song their anthem went on to be fooled upwards of 3 TIMES since this song first hit the airwaves in 1971.  I'm on the tail end of that generation, but will freely admit that as smart as we proved to be - I point to all the modern tech that stems from us - we are also probably one of the most gullible and stupid generations to have come along in some time.  We won't get fooled again?  Nah....How about

Pogo's anthem is probably more apt....

Ha!  2nd Jack Lord reference for me this week.  

I was recently listening to a podcast with Al Michaels, who was on the orig. "Hawaii  Five-O" show in 1970 (playing a lawyer).  Irrelevant side note: his episode also features Christopher Walken!   

 Anyway, Michaels claimed that he was on the set one day for a three minute scene with the show's star, and Lord couldn't have been more of a pr*ck to the cast and crew!  (puts sunglasses back on)...

I saw The Who at Oracle Arena last month.  Great show, but Roger's voice is very limited.

Fairly certain they played a pre-recorded version of the original primal scream at the end of this song.  I was pretty bummed in the moment, but I've come to grips with the idea:)  Really, what are they supposed to do?  A man's gotta know his limitations...

This album is about 44 years old.  My spouse and I were with our kids, and this song came on the MP3 player.

We remarked on the manic drumming of Keith Moon, and the foundational bass playing of John Entwistle, and the explosive power chords of Pete Townshend - and oh that Roger Daltrey scream!

It doesn't get much better than this.

Great idea. Have some old Klipsch KG 5.5 behemoth speakers and sub as my PC speakers here at the office. Time to crank it up. Brings back fond memories of college days. Remember those huge starburst type sound-triggered displays? About two feet square? A friend had one and this was one of the tunes I recall looked interesting on it. Hmmm makes me wonder about those displays...

The organ solo/bridge is brilliant.

Definitely the song to jam at full volume! This one can always get me doing a Keith Moon, or a wind-milling PT, or a screaming Daltrey. I remember hearing that the cover was a rub against Stanley Kubrick for turning them down on a request to do a Rock Opera-thing; the monolith was supposedly the one used in the filming of 2001 (made black for the movie). In any case, they protested mightily slyly well!

This kids would be all right, if they only could get a decent drummer and a decent guitar player who can play decent power chords and a decent singer who can sing rock n roll. 

And they need to practice playing together. They just are not very tight. They play out of time and uninspired.

one of my first albums.

Cover art was ruined by a star-shaped "Nice Nice Price" emblem in the upper right corner. That emblem always pissed me off. The music more than made up for it. Brilliant.
