Oh we're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

Oh we're not gonna take it anymore



We've got the right to choose and

There ain't no way we'll lose it

This is our life, this is our song

We'll fight the powers that be just

Don't pick our destiny 'cause

You don't know us, you don't belong



Oh we're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

Oh we're not gonna take it anymore



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 confiscated

If that's your best, your best won't do



Oh.....................

Oh.....................

We're right/yeah

We're free/yeah

We'll fight/yeah

You'll see/yeah



Oh we're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

Oh we're not gonna take it anymore



Oh we're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

No way!



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 anymore



We're not gonna take it, no!

No, we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore



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 anymore

Now drop and give me twenty

We're not gonna take it

A pledge pin

No, we ain't gonna take it

Oh you on your uniform

We're not gonna take it anymore
