[CHORUS]
 
 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
  
 
 [CHORUS]
  
 
 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
  
 
 [CHORUS] (2x)
  
 
 No way
  
 
 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)
 
 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
 
 (On your uniform)
 
 We're not gonna take it anymore.
