That spirit turns Won't Get Fooled Again into rock's best and most furious political manifesto. Its sardonic observations on the bicameral process ("The parting on the left/ Is now the parting on the right") and the bitter truth of its conclusion ("Meet the new boss/ Same as the old boss") make it a fine anthem for any election year, anywhere...
