"Wont Get Fooled Again" Two ways to read thiis message. Which is more true?
The music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp6-wG5LLqE&

Sing along with the lyrics:

We'll be fighting in the streets
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

Ill tip my hat to the new constitution
Ill tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We dont get fooled again
We dont get fooled again

The change, it had to come
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, thats all
We were liberated from the fold, thats all
And the world looks just the same
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
And history ain't changed
cause the banners, they are flown in the next war
cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

Ill tip my hat to the new constitution
Ill tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
We don't get fooled again
No, no!
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?
Do ya?

Theres nothing in the streets
Theres nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Same as the old boss

1. I really only see one way to read it..
You can change figureheads but the underlying power structure is going to be identical or as close to it as makes no significant difference.

And I think that's pretty much the way things are.

2. I need to stop drinking in the morning I need to stop drinking in the morning
It's too early to be seeing double
