Lyrics:

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

Whoa...
Whoa...
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!

Whoa...
Whoa...
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

We're not gonna take it (JUST YOU TRY AND MAKE US!)
No, we ain't gonna take it (COME ON!)
We're not gonna take it anymore (YOU'RE ALL WORTHLESS AND WEAK!)
We're not gonna take it (NOW DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY!)
No, we ain't gonna take it (A PLEDGE PIN?!)
We're not gonna take it anymore (ON YOUR UNIFORM!)
