Among my favorite rock songs of all time, "Won't get fooled again" by The Who, cool British rock band. Their live performance in 2005,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1fJVdpIyRM.
I adapted the music and changed the lyrics to a Lift the Lockdown theme, below.
Enjoy.
Won’t get fooled
again Pete Townshend (The Who), 1971

No more lockdown
again Nonoy Oplas, 2021

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 last 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 Oh 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 a parting on the left Is now a 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!
Meet the new boss Same as the old boss.

We can hardly walk the streets Without masks, distance three feet Many provincial buses they are gone I-A-T-F forced this on Sittin Generals are all wrong The World Health Org D-O-H sing the song.
I'll tip my hat to the old Ivermectin Take a bow for zinc and melatonin Smile and get good sunlight all around Put my walking shoes and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray No more lockdown again.
Old treatments have to come Off-patent all along Very cheap, safe and effective, that’s all And the world looks for new sin They plan mandatory vaccine ‘Cause their billions dollars flowin to their banks.
I'll tip my hat to the old Ivermectin Take a bow for zinc and melatonin Smile and get good sunlight all around Put my walking shoes and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray No ECQ again No Q!
I’ll move my travels and actual conference Endure the Zoom, Teams and Facebook Live I’ll write all my papers and look at the sky Oh I know many business already die Do ya?
There's nothing in the streets Eerie curfew and checkpoints Heavy traffic are replaced by idleness And more power on the left Crippled freedom of the right And the state has grown bigger overnight.
I'll tip my hat to the old Ivermectin Take a bow for zinc and melatonin Smile and get good sunlight all around Put my walking shoes and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray No more lockdown again No ECQ again No Q!
Meet the new boss Same as the old boss.
