[refrain]
We're not gonna take it !
No we aint gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it ---anymoooore.
We've got the right to choose and
there aint no way we're losin
This is our life-
this is our song.
We'll fight the powers that be just
don't pick our destiny cuz-
You dont know us, you don't belong.
[refrain]
Oh youre so condesending,
your gore is never ending,
we dont want nothing- not a thing from you
Your life is trife and jaded- boring and confiscated.
If thats your best- your best won't do
o-o-o o-o-o we're right
[yeah]
we're free
[yeah]
we'll fight
[yeah]
you'll see
[yeah]
[refrain]
[refrain]
NO way!
o-o-o
o-o-o
we're right
[yeah]
we're free
[yeah]
we'll fight
[yeah]
you'll see
[yeah]
[refrain]
[refrain]
just you try and make us!
[refrain]
now drop and give me 20!
[refrain]
