We're not gonna take it
No! We ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it any more!
We've got the right to choose it
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life; this is our song
We'll fight the pow'rs that be just
Don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
We're not gonna take it
No! We ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it any more!
Oh you're so condescending
Your gall is never ending
We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and complicated
If that's your best, your best won't do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're right! (Yeah!)
We're free! (Yeah!)
We'll fight! (Yeah!)
You'll see! (Yeah!)
Oh, oh
We're not gonna take it
No! We ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it any more
We're not gonna take it
No! We ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it any more!
(No way!)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're right! (Yeah!)
We're free! (Yeah!)
We'll fight! (Yeah!)
You'll see! (Yeah!)
We're not gonna take it
No! We ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it any more!
We're not gonna take it
(No!)
No! We ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it any more!
(Just you try and make us)
We're not gonna take it
(Come on!)
No! We ain't gonna take it
(You're all worthless and weak)
We're not gonna take it any more!
(Now drop and give me twenty)
We're not gonna take it
(Oh, crinch pin!)
No! We ain't gonna take it
