Won't Get Fooled Again



The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again



"What shall we make of Chechnya
asking The West for protection?

She is like a beautiful virgin
escaping the clutches 
of a lecherous bear 
and running to Bill Clinton 
to save her maidenhood.

A poet once wrote:
''Meet the new boss,
same as the old boss.''

He could have been writing of us, 
of Europe in the 21st century.

Over 50 years of America and Russia imposing 
their will on the European community -- 
East and West.

And we are still treated like children, but without 
the toys or the good-night chocolates.

Each day we lose a little bit more of our separate, 
sovereign ability to determine our own futures.

And each day The World comes closer to that 
terrible moment when the beating of a butterfly's 
wings unleashes a hurricane...
God himself cannot stop."
