The song title is "We Won't Get Fooled Again" but he says "We Don't Get Fooled Again". Any reason for this?

Probably drugs.

I'll get on my knees and pray we don't get fooled again.
In the future.

It's not very complicated.

During the song they sing:
"Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again"

"Don't" works better with the context and grammar of the chorus. "Won't" seems to make sense to me for a title that summarizes the song. I dunno, ask the Who?

The song contains both, I think.

It was written by Pete Townsend and he's still alive so just ask him.

Same reason Peter Frampton's song has the title "Do You Feel Like We Do" yet the lyrics say "Do You Feel Like I Do". The answer? Just because...

Per the song lyrics Roger will "get on his knees and pray that we DON'T get fooled again"

The title "Won't Get Fooled Again" is more confident sounding, plainly saying that it WON'T happen.

Never question The Who.

Amen to that.

Well, look at 4 Non Blondes 'What's Up?'...those words are never even spoken....somehow "What's up?" changed to "What's going on?" like some crazy Heineken-Budweiser commercial!

Never question The Who.

Good advice.

People would get mad if it was titled "Don't get fooled again!" 'cuz they'd think they were bossing them around! (or giving them the title of a self help book...)
