Townshend wrote the song as a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had constitute in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of man traits into a synthesizer and used it every bit the main backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior have at Stargroves the next calendar month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse equally a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward album, where it besides became the endmost track. It has been performed every bit a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often as the set closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the ring.
Besides as being a hit, the vocal has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Rock 'due south The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Background [edit]
The song was originally intended for a rock opera Townshend had been working on, Lifehouse, which was a multi-media exercise based on his followings of the Indian religious avatar Meher Baba, showing how spiritual enlightenment could be obtained via a combination of ring and audition.[three] The vocal was written for the cease of the opera, later the main graphic symbol, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The chief characters disappear, leaving behind the government and army, who are left to cracking each other.[four] Townshend described the vocal as i "that screams defiance at those who feel any cause is improve than no crusade".[v] He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll exist fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to see what you lot expect to see. Expect zilch and you might gain everything."[half dozen] Bassist John Entwistle after said that the song showed Townshend "maxim things that really mattered to him, and proverb them for the first time."[vii]
Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan'southward The Mysticism of Sound and Music, which referred to spiritual harmony and the universal chord, which would restore harmony to humanity when sounded. Townshend realised that the newly emerging synthesizers would permit him to communicate these ideas to a mass audience.[viii] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human personality inside music. Townshend interviewed several people with full general practitioner-way questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the result into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He later upgraded to an ARP 2500.[ix] The synthesizer did non play whatsoever sounds directly as it was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ as an input point.[ten] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed past Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Keith Moon had to carefully synchronise his drum playing with the synthesizer, while Townshend and Entwistle played electrical guitar and bass.[14]
Townshend played a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollow body guitar fed through an Edwards book pedal to a Fender Bandmaster amp, all of which he had been given by Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his master electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the end consequence sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to use it as the final have.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[xiii] [xiv] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[thirteen] Afterwards Lifehouse was abased as a project, Johns felt "Won't Become Fooled Once more", along with other songs, were so good that they could just be released every bit a standalone single album, which became Who'southward Next.[16] This song is written in the primal of A Mixolydian.[17]
