    What white man has ever seen me drunk? Who has ever come to me hungry and left me unfed? Who has seen me beat my wives or abuse my children? What law have I broken?

    just a point of interest, the actual lyrics are

    "Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again.
    Don't get fooled again"

    not

    "We wont be fooled again"

    All a bit idealistic anyway, since -

    "The function of politics is the fooling of the public."

    Verse two by The Who:

    "I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again"

    rwatson, you are correct.

    Let us now get on our knees else we become serfs on our knees.
