[CHORUS]
These pricy gips don't teach us!
Your freedom doesn't reach us!
Enlightenment escapes us!
Awareness doesn't shape us!
How can all this trvia
Take us to the goal you reached?
We came here to be like you,
To find the world you've reached!
These pricy gips don't teach us!
Your freedom doesn't reach us!
Enlightenment escapes us!
Awareness doesn't shape us!
How can all this trvia
Take us to the goal you reached?
We came here to be like you,
To find the world you've reached!
[TOMMY]
Welcome to the camp!
I guess you all know why we're here.
My name is Tommy, and I became aware this year.
If you want to follow me,
You've got to play pinball.
So put in your earplugs,
Put on your eyeshades,
You know where to put the cork!
Hey you, gettin' drunk,
So sorry, I've got you sussed.
Hey, you, smokin' mother nature,
You missed the bus.
Hey, hung up old Mister Normal,
Don't try to gain my trust.
'Cos you ain't gonna follow me
Any of those ways,
Although you think you must!
Now you can't hear me,
Your ears are truly sealed!
You can't speak either,
'Cos your mouth is filled.
You can't see nothing,
And pinball completes the scene.
Here come willing helpers
To guide you to
Your very own machine!
[CHORUS]
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it,
Never did and never will,
We don't have to take it.
Gonna break it!
Gonna shake it!
Let's forget it better still!
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it,
Never did and never will,
Don't want no religion,
As far as we can tell!
We ain't gonna take you,
Never did and never will!
We ain't gonna take you,
We forsake you,
Gonna rape you,
Let's forget you better still!
