    [Chorus:]
  We're not gonna take it
  no, we ain't gonna take it
  we're not gonna take it anymore
    (No!)
  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
    [Chorus]
    Oh you're so condescending
  your gall 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
    Whoa, who
  we're right, yeah
  we're free, yeah
  we'll fight, yeah
  you'll see
    [Chorus]
    We're not gonna take it (no!)
  no, we ain't gonna take it (your words are weak)
  we're not gonna take it anymore (?)
