Wont' get fooled again / No more lockdown again

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.
