November 5, 200817 yr 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 me 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 foe, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they all 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 me 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? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Is now the 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 me 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! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss
November 5, 200817 yr Right on. Once the euphoria dispels a bit, we're still on a brake-less train, speeding downhill. We just bought ourselves a few more miles of track. I hope it's enough to buy some time in letting us devise a way to overcome the inertia.
November 5, 200817 yr >""I'll tip my hat to the new constitution"<< There's a timely, frightening line...
November 5, 200817 yr The Who are amazing. What was that song written for? I think some one said it was after LBJ. Any time I hear LBJ I remember, "Hey, hey, LBJ, how many babies did you kill today?" Well I say, "Hey, hey, JFK, how many lives did you ruin on your way?"
November 5, 200817 yr >""I'll tip my hat to the new constitution"<< There's a timely, frightening line... Amen. Our founding Fathers were not perfect men, but they did manage to enact the perfect government, it's too bad that two centuries later we're still trying our best to F*** it up.
November 5, 200817 yr You know what? That's it. After last night, I'm moving to Germany. Perhaps Mr. Borger will show you around once you get there!
November 5, 200817 yr You know what? That's it. After last night, I'm moving to Germany. Isn't that place even more of a socialist paradise?
November 5, 200817 yr Sorry Doane, I guess you didn't get the joke. It was a playful jab at Oldsmoboi.
