Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
If the voters do allow themselves to get fooled again, as they were fooled by the Republican politics of fear and lies in 2004, the nation will find itself with John McCain as president and Pete Townshend's closing lines of that song tell us exactly what that would mean:
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
The song combined with images of Thomas and Palin, Bush and McCain, Karl Rove and a quick clip of a 2004 swift boat ad would make a great television commercial.
