The Wallflowers Way

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 that 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
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 parting on the left
Is now a parting on the right
And the beards have just 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

I'll move friends and my family aside (Jake)
If we happen to be left half alive (Mike)
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky (Jake)
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie (Mike)

("Daultry" scream)

Come meet the new boss
Just the same as the old boss

This is based on what is at Deanna's page but cut-and-pasted to fit the way the Wallflowers actually sing it (at my two concerts at least)!
