Just Been Fooled Again

[SalmonChantedEvening]

Jsst Been Fooled Again
(To the tune of Don’t get fooled again – The Who)

We have screamed our faces blue
And it still ain’t getting through
Though the horror and the bloodshed carries on
And the founders of the mess
Say we dare not second guess
Though they’ve probably been guessing all along

(ch)
I wave goodbye to the old constitution
Out the window to a whole new intrusion
Barely free, what remains will die easy
Hiccup and you’re hauled away, now you’re yesterday
You won’t live on your knees you say
You just been fooled again

Your voices have to go
Down the street a block or so
Lest you interrupt the Prerzel Prince’s nap
Only privacy is his
The King of Over Priviledge
While the wires in your kid’s braces have a tap

I wave goodbye to the old constitution
Out the window to a whole new intrusion
Barely free, what remains will die easy
Hiccup and you’re hauled away, now you’re yesterday
You won’t live on your knees you say
You just been fooled again

Don’t fool yourself, if the monkey decides
You’ll be lucky to be left half your righta
They count on the people to chose apathy
And be served up a pasteurized liberty

So we scream again Impeach
While it’s still within our reach
It’s already way too late for his goodbye
For in parting he will laugh
Because so few dared to fight
And the bodies are all buried out of sight

I wave goodbye to the old constitution
Out the window to a whole new intrusion
Barely free, what remains will die easy
Hiccup and you’re hauled away, now you’re yesterday
You won’t live on your knees you say
You just been fooled again

Just been fooled again OH NO

Read the new lies
Same as the old lies

[Lars39]

4. *Very* good, salmonenchantedevening.

Sadly, you hit the mark.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

15. Hi Lars39! It is rough knowing

What so many fail to see, or even wish to see.

:hi: :hug:

[Cabcere]

5. WOW.

Just...wow. I love this song, and your new lyrics are brilliantly right on the mark. It's scary, really.

I must admit that this strikes me as vaguely ironic, too, since (if I remember correctly) the original version by The Who was chosen by some wanker group or another as the "top conservative rock song" a few years back. :eyes: (I also seem to remember that Pete Townshend wasn't exactly pleased when he found out.) ;)

Edited to add that I am proud to make the number of recommendations on this thread go to ELEVEN. :D (Or maybe 12 or 13 now...DUers are pretty quick on the rec around here!) :hi: Excellent work.

[provis99]

6. You're kidding; top conservative song?

Are conservative radio listeners really that clueless. Oh, wait. Yeah I remember in the 80s with all those right wing yahoos singing "Born in the USA", completely missing the point that it was a liberal rant on how badly Vietnam vets were being treated. Typical clueless meatheads.

[Cabcere]

10. Yep.

Here's a link if you can stand it... 50 Greatest Conservative Rock Songs

I had the chorus for weeks now, and this morning the verses finally came to me.

Thank you so much :hug: :loveya:

Thank You!!! :hug: :hug: :hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

42. Hi Sydnie!! Welcome home!!

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

This took me weeks to finish. I had the chorus written, but nothing else would come, so I set it on the bureau where I'd see it, hoping it'd fire the synapses up. Nada :rofl:

Wednesday morning two lines came to me and I was off to the races. I was done before 9AM :D

So glad you enjoyed this, it's one of the better parodies I've written, and the Who song is something I've sang and played to for more years than I care to admit ;)

[lala_rawraw]
