It's a parable to illustrate that you can campaign, take to the streets to protest, and vote for different parties... but nothing ever changes. Fifty years on they've been proved right. "A change, it had to come, we knew it all along." ~ Optimism on the streets whilst they protest in expectation of an improved situation... but then the realisation hits: "And the world looks just the same, and history ain't changed." ~ and then they reiterate: "There's nothing in the street, looks any different to me." "And the parting on the left, Is now a parting on the right. And the beards have all grown longer overnight."~ In fact the only things that ever change are fashion and hairstyles. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." ~ Parties and politicians come and go, but, by and large, nothing ever changes.

But they're also talking about somebody like Trump, with his BS and his now preaching straight out tyranny and being a dictator in what used to be the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. They're attacking women now - the so-called "weaker sex." Babycakes, they ain't seen nothing yet. Remember that really old verse: HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED. Read those lyrics again and again and again and then start paying attention to the news - but not on Fox or any of the other right-wing outlets. Focus on reality. And if you can't still figure out what those lyrics mean, then you're one of them. But that won't save you, because you don't have the right colored skin.

i second what Jan says. I'd also love to say that this band exploded onto the London "Mod" scene in the mid 1960's and had a career with new music being released and charting up till the mid 1880's! They have continued to tour although they are down to two elderly original core members. They were known for crazy live shows just usings their intruments, their temperments (they often fought and clashed but never really broke up) and the vibe they'd create - destroying instruments, knocking heads with mikes (yeah it did happen!!) - stealing the spotlight VERY often from more well known artists they'd be opening for in England and America! In 1968 they played the great west coast festival, Monteray Pop, and knew they were sharing a stage that night with Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix (!!!!)....it was quite a three way battle. The very next year they had a explosive night at the first Woodstock Fest' and blew the crowd away again playing a evening slot against hard rock acts like Ten Years After and funk revolutionaries Sly and the Family Stone. In the early 1970's, and I cannot recommend this newly discovered filmed clip of them, they were part of a feature length filmed concert event held by their "friends", The Rolling Stones. Also on the bill were members of the Beatles and Joe Cocker, but it was the Who, with their new song, the first rock opera they ever wrote, "A QUICK ONE, WHILE HE'S AWAY", that stole the show, the crowd went wild during the two recorded versions put on film that night, so much so that the Rolling Stones, dumped the entire film for almost 40+ years, only recently restored, the video is a MUST WATCH for You! I hope You enjoy and read this!

"And the world looks just the same, and history ain't changed."

You (almost completely) misunderstood this song. This is a UK band, they were singing vaguely about politics (Not US politics). They were not referencing Vietnam at all, and when they sing about "constitution" they did NOT mean the constitution of the united states. The song was not anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", although they did stress that any revolution could be unpredictable.

LOVE their songs: Reign O'er Me & Behind Blue Eyes.....but: there are SO MANY good songs by them....

The greatest band in the world and well known even today as being one of, if not the loudest live band of all time. They're legends!! Long live The Who 🤘🎸🎶🎯

The Who are performing several gigs in London in March for their annual Teenage Cancer Trust charity concerts. 25 years ago, The Who created Teenage Cancer Trust which raises funds to build houses similar to the Ronald McDonald Houses all over the world, but geared toward teenagers who are battling cancer. Squeeze is the open act for The Who this year. Eddie Vedder, Robert Plant, and several other rockers are also performing.

These guys are iconic. Pete Townsend on guitar, with the windmill stokes, the jumping like it’s an aerobics class. Keith Moon on the drums, that man was crazy, I don’t if it was the alcohol & chemical enhancements that did it, or just brought it out of him. Regardless, he is also legend. I remember my older brother playing The Who’s rock opera Tommy when I was 6 or7. Glad you enjoyed them.

The song’s brilliant lyrics are about a revolution (probably fits most so-called revolutions) that promised better life under a new constitution but which, in the end, changed nothing. They sing “a change, it had to come, we knew it all along, and “we were liberated from the fold, that's all, and the world looks just the same”… Realizing that they fell for the false promise of change they sing, “We don't get fooled again, no, no” and finally they end with “meet the new boss same as the old boss”. Some very insightful and prescient lyrics.

I was 18, The Who was the voice of our generation (listen to My Generation) and there's lots of history here, good and bad with all of the members.

Oh man!! I haven't listened to them recently. Check out : "Behind Blue Eyes." I saw them in Cleveland, Ohio (Ball Park stadium - can't remember the name) 1988ish. Live concerts in the open air are so great! Of course, they rocked!!

The greatest band ever! Young man blues, Isle of Wight next!

The Who's catalog is an irresistible rabbit hole of great music with great storytelling. As great as this performance was, you have to hear the studio version to really get the full effect ...especially for Roger Daltrey's classic scream. It's worth the listen.

This band is on a whole different level. Can't wait until you react to more of them. But this is a banger. I think of this song after every election here in the states. Oh, the beginning of their song Baba O'Riley has been my phone ringtone for the past 10 years!

Won't Get Fooled Again was released in 1971 on the album Who's Next.

That was the kind and gentle WHO. Look at their earlier stuff, THE WHO, like Led Zeppelin, are the archetype ROCK BAND.

Love reign o'er me is my vote for next

The Who is one of my very favorite bands of all time. They deliver the goods with each and every track they ever cut.

Seeing them live is a whole different thing. As good as live band as has ever been.

Legends!

He still swings the mic today!!!!!

To me this could be the best introduction to The Who. This song originally came out in 1971 ( my birth-year) and I think it's one of their best songs and this performance is absolutely entertaining.

3 things: a) the definition of a rock anthem b) the British could out-anger anyone c) The Who are all time greats worthy of your sonic indulgence

I never saw a better band in concert than the Who.

The song is about an era that taken place around "The Glorious Revolution" and the change of their Constitution in 1707. It's a U.K. band.

Oh my God you said it you are right we are not a democracy we are constitutional republic oh my God somebody's finally getting it excellent problem my friend a fan for life 😊

If you ever watched any CSI shows like CSI NY, the opening theme song is a Who song. Band members lead singer Roger Daltrey, drums Keith Moon, and Pete Townsend lead on guitar. But Pete also has done some solo work. John Entwistle is the bass guitarist.

My favorite Who song is "Behind Blue Eyes". So many songs were anti-war in the 60's and early 70's.

"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." Jeez, I've used that at least a thousand times over the past 50 years. tx brod

The Who were leaders in using lasers in shows, maybe even the first band to do so. What you saw here was ground-breaking.

The rthym section is legendary. Probably the best lead rthym section ever. The lead guitar played the rthym.

Keith Moon and John Entwhistle were genius’ and their contrasting performances were so mesmerizing.

My fave clip of The Who ever. A fantastic band & the best rock scream ever ❤️ Cheers & Peace Out ✌️

You have one of the best channels on KZread. I saw the Who live. Super group, all their songs were big hits. Keep it up!

I saw the band when 16 in Glasgow in 1971 when this song came out - 5,000 cinema venue cost of most expensive seats £1. Mind you we never used the seats other than to stand on. Relived the excitement through your reaction. Seen them several times since but feel the best work was mid-60s to mid-seventies. Not all as raucous as this - check out Tommy and Quadrophenia albums albums. Keep up the good work

**John Entwistle bass. Considered one of the best in contemporary music & the calm eye of the storm ** Keith Moon “the loon”. besides being a very good , power & creative drummer he was a bit of a wild card. ** Roger Daltrey vocals speak for themselves ** Pete Townshend guitarist is quite talented and the main song writer

One of the best underrated group's of all time

I saw them in 75 and we were all moving our heads thinking Roger was gonna hit us with the microphone and then Keith Moon destroyed his drums, good times😂😂😂😂they have a Rock Opera movie named Tommy that will blow your mind. It's about the Pinball Wizard😅😅

I have seen The Who in concert in 1970, 1980 and 2019. Won’t Get Fooled Again is my favorite Who song.

the best bit of "the hypnotised never lie" is Pete's...."DO YA".

I am 42 and remember the first time seeing Roger Daltry on TV, it wasn’t a music video but it was his guest starring acting role as “Fitz” the immortal friend of The Highlander, Duncan Macleod on the show Highlander.
