Download I`ll tip my hat to the new constitution

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
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.
The world looks just the same; and history ain’t changed
‘Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war.
There’s nothing in the streets, looks any different to me.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
