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
