Theme for Anti-Charter Change Movements



Pete Townsend must be a psychic. Or a political analyst. Or a genius.

Read the lyrics of Won't Get Fooled Again also known as the CSI:Miami Theme Song.

Won't Get Fooled Again

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
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 are 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
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
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

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
Are 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

Notes:
1. Analyze this line: There's nothing in the streets/Looks any different to me. There won't be any major rim-rockin' change in our country as look as the same pathetic fools run the government.

2. Analyze this line: They decide and the shotgun sings the song. The operative word in the current advocacy for charter change is THEY. Not we. They of course pertains to Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her minions.

3. Analyze this line: Meet the new boss/Same as the old boss. Yup. Meet the new boss, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. What's new?

After the Stop the Killings Bar Tour, could Mr. Conrado De Quiros organize an Anti-Charter Change concert? We can name it as Won't Get Fooled Again Concert. Or how about We're not Gonna Take It by the Twisted Sisters?

Please...
