We're not going to take it
No, we're not gonna take it
We're just not gonna take it anymore
ย
We've got the right to choose, and
There's no way we'll ever lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be, just
Don't pick on our destiny, 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
ย
And we're not gonna take it
Heck no, we ain't gonna take it
We're just not gonna take it anymore
ย
Oh, you're so condescending
Your call is never ending
We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do
ย
(break it down)
Woah-woah-woah
Woah-woah-woah
We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)
Whoa-whoa, we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're just not gonna take it anymore
ย
We're not gonna take it
No way! we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna be taking it anymore
Fuhgeddaboudit!
(We reserve words like insurrection)
(And that's how you know a hyperpoliticed process is actually a danger for everybody)
(Because you are creating a climate where you could be imprisoned)
(Essentially without due process because someone doesn't like your ideas)
(But what they never consider is what happens if the pendulum swings)
(And the people I hate are in charge and now they don't like my ideas)
(Well, guess what they can throw you in prison just as easily and it will happen)
(break it up!)
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)
We're not gonna take it
Nuh-uh, we ain't gonna take it
We're just not gonna take it anymore
ย
We're not gonna take it (no!)
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not going to be taking it anymore (just you try and make us)
We're not gonna take it (come on!)
No, we ain't gonna take it (fight the power!)
We're just not gonna take it anymore (let's get it started!)
We're not gonna take it (Nuh-uh)
No, we ain't gonna take it (is that uptown funk I keep hearing about?)
We're not gonna take it anymore
