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!

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 confuscated,
If that's your best, your best won't do!

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 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!
