Don't Get Fooled Again

 

There is violence in the streets

With the children on their feet

The idols that were worshiped all are gone

The party on the left

Is startling the right

There is no use in talking in this fight

Like birds and fish, we have no resolution

We lost our homes to the new prostitution

Can’t swim or fly in the rain going down

Hiding for another day

Won’t make it go away

Better fight back now and stay

Don’t get fooled again! *
