Lyrics

[Chorus]
Oh, we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh, we're not gonna take it
Anymore
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh, we're not gonna take it
Anymore
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
We're right (Yeah)
We're free (Yeah)
We'll fight (Yeah)
You'll see (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, 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
[Bridge]
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
We're right (Yeah)
We're free (Yeah)
We'll fight (Yeah)
You'll see (Yeah)
[Chorus]
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh, we're not gonna take it
Anymore
[Chorus]
Oh, we're not gonna take it (No)
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh, we're not gonna take it
Anymore (Just you try and make us)
Oh, we're not gonna take it (Come on)
No, we ain't gonna take it (You're all worthless and weak)
Oh, we're not gonna take it
Anymore (Now drop and give me twenty)
Oh, we're not gonna take it (A pledge pin)
No, we ain't gonna take it (On your uniform?)
Oh, we're not gonna take it
Anymore
