Pete Townshend Knows Obama
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 judgment 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 |

Secondly, lyrics and Bible passages can be made to fit the context of a situation so long as the person listening can be swayed that way. The OP makes it sound like Townsend wrote this song with Obama in mind. It was released in 1971 (Who's Next album). Put your thinking cap on .... what was going on in 1971 that might have made Townsend and the Who put out such a song? Perhaps there was this guy named Nixon that maybe the song was possibly aimed at? Just thinking out loud here ..... |

 Religions of all kinds do this every day. It also applies to the Constitution. You have a problem with all of them too?
