The Who Warned Us

10. The Thing about Eminence Front

In 'Won't Get Fooled Again' we shout we won't make the same mistake twice,
but then we, as a nation, re-elect Reagan, then we elect his vice president then his son
who gets us involved in two wars.
We get fooled again and elect a land developer, then we, as a nation, elect him again...

In 'Eminence Front', we forget, and make the same mistakes again and again.
While putting on a brave face so as not to admit to our mistakes,
and this was written in 1982...

That's what I've always enjoyed about Townshend and The Who
No matter the topic, he always wrote TRUTH, and they always performed TRUTH.
As we take a hard look at ourselves.
