1. In the name of progress, we believe the lies
and get the same old shite, just different flies
A different rosette, but nothing seems to change
Another dame another knighthood, we got fooled again

Chorus
We got fooled again, nobody gives a cuss,
no jobs no factories we dont even make a fuss
Dignity and caring, or simple profit and gain,
I think you know the answer, we got fooled again

2. In the name of freedom, you lock and bolt the door
In the name of justice you administer the law
In the name of liberty, innocence is chained
Extra ordinary rendition, we got fooled again

3. In the name of god, you justify your cause
In the name of peace, you fan the flames of war
You do the devils work, in your prophets name
You only read what you want to see, we got fooled again

4. In the name of profit, markets rise and fall
When they're up you get a pittance, when they're down you get sod all
You're laid off and down sized, left out in the rain
But the boss gets a bonus, we got fooled again

5. It's all made in China, we don't even make a fuss
No such thing as a free lunch, we got fooled again
We believed in the jokers punch, we got fooled again
K-O'd by a sucker punch, we got fooled again.
