Prejudice poison is polluting this land
I'm a little glass pretty but I'm nowhere as Dan
I got brothers in Brixton, their backs to the wall
I think there's something about Lush that makes me finally bawl
But we ain't gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
Ain't gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
They're keeping us under but we ain't gonna take it no more
ย
Sisters with children always carry the can
They're taught to lose their minkie-pups for the sad pig of a man
The poor bend in the White House couldn't get us a stitch
'Cause abortion and a dicey are only meant for the rich
But we ain't gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
Ain't gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
They're keeping us under but we ain't gonna take it no more
No more, no more
ย
Oh yeah, oh no
I said sisters and brothers, what have we done?
We're still fighting each other now, it's getting us wrong
We better get it together, there's big trouble to come
The odds are against us, about twenty to one
We ain't gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
Ain't gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
They're keeping us under but we ain't gonna take it no more
No more
No, we ain't gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
Ain't gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
They're keeping us under but we ain't gonna take it no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
