Won't Get Fooled Again

A song by The Who. It's about a revolution, which overthrows a corrupt government, but ends up becoming corrupt itself. Released on Who's Next, 1971.

It's a rock classic and The Who's biggest success.
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 next 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
Though 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 the parting on the left
Are now 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!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss,
Same as the old boss!

Jared Fogle

Guy who became famous as Subway's spokesman, he famously lost a lot of weight by eating healthy at Subway. In 2007, he was accused of several sexual crimes, for which he was indicted for and arrested for in July of 2015. He was released on bail, but faced a possible life sentence if convicted. In August 2015, he pleaded guilty to lesser offenses in exchange for no more than 12 years in prison. On November 19, 2015, Fogle was formally sentenced. The media set up outside his house, and he was seen walking from outside his house into a car. He was later seen that day entering a federal courthouse. At the sentencing, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison, slightly over the promised maximum of 12, but still better than the possible life sentence. After the sentencing, Fogle was to report to federal prison, and in a huge twist of irony, that night, his last day as a free man for 15 years, he ate at Subway. I guess he really does love Subway, despite tarnishing their reputation. The next day, in the early morning hours, Fogle reported to federal prison for his booking, and has resided there ever since. He'll be released in 2029. He's been assaulted several times in prison.
Jared Fogle loved foot longs, but not quite the type you're thinking of.
