We're not gonna take it

No we ain't gonna take it

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...

We're not gonna take it

No we ain't gonna take it

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...

Woah oh oh

woah oh oh

We're right

we're free

We'll fight

you'll see...

Woah oh

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 we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore...

No way

Woah oh oh

woah oh oh

We're right

we're free

We'll fight

you'll see...

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

Just you try and make us

Come on

You're all worthless and weak

Now drop and give me twenty

Aw quit bein' a

Aww your uniform
