"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the UK, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track on the band's 1971 album ''Who's Next'', released that August. Townshend wrote the song as a closing number of the '' Lifehouse'' project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power.
