    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!

    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.

    Roger Daltrey taped the cord on his mike so the mike wouldn't be launched and hit a fan in the crowd. He could swing it by the cord, then retract it back right in time for his vocals. It was an art form that he mastered. You always knew when the Who played their last song in a live concert, because their equipment was trashed by Pete Townshend (guitarist) & Keith Moon (drummer). Keith died in 1978, and the bassist, John Entwistle, died in 2002. Entwistle is among the greatest bass guitar players in rock history.

    Saw them in concert in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida in 1977. Still one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Roger Daltry is an amazing performer, and in addition to being a genius songwriter, Pete Townshend is a phenomenal guitarist and showman. I think the real statement in this song is that despite all the revolutions, nothing really ever changes. The people in power may be different, but for the regular people, everything's just the same, if not worse. I love seeing your reactions to songs I've listened to for most of my life; it's like hearing them myself for the first time all over again! Please react to my favorite of theirs, "Baba O'Reilly" - you will love it!

      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.

    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.

    The Who is right up there in rock history with The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. The song is about self-serving politicians who divide people and get them all hyped up about the need for "revolution," and then when they win, nothing changes. The cycle continues ad infinitum but we fall for the hype and are left disappointed every time, hoping we don't get fooled again. The song is summed up with the lines "Pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday," and "meet the new boss, same as the old boss." It's really a call for detachment from the endless games, rather than revolution.

    This piece was actually one of the songs originally intended for a rock opera called "Lifehouse", which never came to fruition. However, there are some great songs written for that endevour. The Who were the Godfathers of punk with Pete destroying his guitars and Keith decimating his drumkit regularly. Do check out "Love Reign O'er Me" for a true measure of Roger's voice. Probably their best known album is the rock opera "Tommy".
