Surely we're safer than we were yesterday
All the horses are grazing green meadows of hay
And we're flying buck naked, good to see you my friend
And we won't be fooled again, we won't be fooled again

It used to be I had a secret or two
But that made us all nervous, and just wouldn't do
So we hired some folks to keep a tap on my line
And we won't be fooled again, we won't be fooled again

I can sleep well at night, our democracy is strong
We've elected fine people heirs to the thrown
To preserve and protect and get rich while they can
And we won't be fooled again, we won't be fooled again

I used to worry about freedom, used to pray for the poor
Now things have changed and I don't do that no more
'Cause I'm free as a bird in a cage in a mine
And we won't be fooled again, we won't be fooled again

Folks like to tell me "fish or cut bait"
All your bitching and moaning, why not move out of state?
But I love everything about this country, except them...
And we won't be fooled again, we won't be fooled again

You can fool me once, that's a shame on me
Next time you do it is red I will see
But if lightening should strike me three times and I'm dead
I won't be fooled again, I won't be fooled again.
I won't be fooled when I'm dead in the ground, I won't be fooled again.
I won't be fooled when they bury my old bones, I won't be fooled again.

about

Ben Hunsberger Bowdoinham

layer fresh melodies with full-bodied undertones.
fold in a little nature and politics.
season with angst, humor, and a pinch of sarcasm.
serve with plenty of volume.
