When we get down
If we get down
We'll get up again
We'll get up again
And if we get down
When we get down
We'll get up again
We'll get up again
And we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no

You've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting us go
You've been taking control of our lives
And we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no

And if we get down
How should we know
If we'll get up again?
We'll get up again
And we can take the right way out of here
I'll be sure to show you again
Then we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no

You've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting us go
You've been taking control of our lives
And we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no
I can't be the one to finally pull you out again, out again
But we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no

You've been making a joke of our lives
And you've been letting us go
You've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting us go
You've been taking control of our lives
And we won't take it when you won't take it, oh no

You've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting us go
You've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting us go
(I can't be the one to finally pull you out again, out again
No I can't be the one to finally pull you out again, out again)
