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
A 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 all 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
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do you?
Yeah
There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is 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
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Won’t Get Fooled Again lyrics © Abkco Music Inc., Spirit Music Group
d.: Hi, Cal.E. Why are you wearing a supervisor’s cap and being wheeled around by your underlings?
C.: Oh, that. I passed my class that taught me how to be woke. So now, I’m a supervisor again. However, the administration at The Kennel doesnn’t want me to clean cages anymore, or even walk around The Kennel. They’re afraid that I may damage my leg farther, so they have me toted around on a cart.
d.: I see. Well, did your duties change any?
C.: Yes. Now, my main job is to look around The Kennel and see what I can find that’s wrong.
d.: And correct it?
C.: No, someone else will do that. I just report what I see. Speaking of which, how long does it take to get something repaired at The Kennel?
d.: Well, I’ve been working at this branch for five and one-half years, and the sink broke about six months after I started working there. They fixed it yesterday, so about five years.
C.: Wow! What if it’s something really important? d.: Like a sink in the medical department so that the nurses and other medical professionals can wash their hands and not contaminate their patients?
C.: I see your point, d.c., but there are other sinks in the medical department. That’s probably why it wasn’t fixed promptly. Now, if it’s something really important, like a feeder or a water container in one of the cells or cages, wouldn’t it be fixed ASAP?
d.: I doubt it, Cal.E.
C.: Y?!
d.: Well, it’s the government. No one can explain what they do or the timeline for it.
C.: That’s true. Well, speaking of explaining things, you were about to explain what was supposed to happen on my favorite serial “NIne Lives to Give” before it was cancelled. You said that you read an article online that told you that when you were filling in on the night shift the other night.
d.: Well…
ICS. Code nine! All emergency personnel report to the officer’s dining hall immediately. This is not a drill!!!
d.: Gotta go.
C.: (Heavy sigh). I guess I’ll never know what was supposed to happen on “Nine Lives to Give.”
