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
Oh crinch pin
No, we ain't gonna take it

Oh you and your uniform
We're not gonna take it anymore
