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

Oh, you're so condescending
Your goal is never ending
We don't want nothing
Not a thing from you

Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do!

We're right
We're free
We'll fight
You'll see

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! we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it - anymore

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! we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it - anymore
