Won’t Get Fooled Again / Let’s See Action Songtext
von Pete Townshend

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 whose blood is on them sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide, and the sucker sings the song
I 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 I′ll 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
The world looks just the same
History ain′t changed
And the banners were all flown who last war
I 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


I look myself in my mirror and sigh
It ain′t happened to me like that before
I get my papers, I smile at the sky
And I know them hip guitars never lie
Do you!
Out here in the streets, looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced by the bye
And the party on the left is now partying on the right
And the beards have all been rubber for life
I 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 I′ll pray we don't get fooled again
We don′t get fooled again!Meet the new boss
Just the same as your old boss
Yeah
Let's see action
Let's see people
Let′s see freedom
Let′s see who cares
Take me with you when you leave me
In my shell behind us there
I have learned it
I know who burned me
The avatar has warmed my feet
Take me with you
Let me see you
Time and life can meet
Rumor has it, minds are open
But then rumors fill them up with lies
Futures passing, nothing lasting
I try to scream 'cause nothing dies
Nothing is everything
Everything is nothing is
Please the people, audiences
Break the fucking fences
Nothing is
Let′s see action
Let's see people
Let′s see freedom in the air
Let's see action
Let′s see people
Let's be free, let's see you care
Give me a drink, boy, wash my feet
I′m so tired of running from my own heat
Take this package and here′s what you do
Get this information through
You know I don't know where I′m going
I don't know what I need
But I get to where I′m gonna end up
And that's all right by me
I′ve been running from side to side
Now I know for sure that both sides lied
It's got so hard, but I gotta keep trying
I can't stand to see my people crying
I don′t know where I′m going
I don't know what I need
But I get to where I′m gonna end up
And that's all right with me
Let′s see action
Let's see people
Let′s see freedom in the air
Meet the new boss
Yeah
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Just the same as your old boss
Yeah
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Just the same as your old boss
Yeah
Thank you!
