We're Not Gonna Take It Lyrics
Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
We've got the right to choose it
There ain't no way we'll lost 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
Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
Oh you're so condescending
Your gall is neverending
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
Oh Oh
We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)
Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
No way
Oh Oh
We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)
Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
Just you try and make us
We're not gonna take it
Come on!
No, we ain't gonna take it
You're all worthless and weak
We're not gonna take it anymore
Now drop and give me twenty
We're not gonna take it
Oh crinch pin
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh you and your uniform
We're not gonna take it anymore
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
There ain't no way we'll lost it
This is our life, this is our song
Don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
Your gall is neverending
We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
We're not gonna take it
Come on!
You're all worthless and weak
We're not gonna take it anymore
We're not gonna take it
Oh crinch pin
Oh you and your uniform
We're not gonna take it anymore

this song is about the gov. telling us how to live, in an error where we are put last, as americans..it's about long haired rockers taking whats rightfully ours, our own freedom and dignity.. and thats why the gov banned this song in the 80's but now in 2003 as u may know the banned pact on this song revoked, cause there is way too much music to banned everything, ex: eminem
This is one of the best songs of all time. It still gets my blood pumped up into a frenzy when I hear it!
@mydarkesthour Just right for 2020!!!

madison look at your address bar. it says "Song meanings" so u cant say "WHO THE FUCK CARES WAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT". this website is split into three parts when u comment:
=P This song rocks no matter what it means. Personally I think of it as rebelling against the mold society has prepped for us before we were even born..."BUY THIS SHIT WEAR THIS SHIT DO THIS SHIT LISTEN TO THIS SHIT". Society is turning us into robots, live how u wanna live not how others want u to live.
this song OWNS. nuff said
This song defined teen rebellion in the 80's. I've
BTW the interject lyrics at the end of the song above are wrong. They should be:
You're all worthless and weak Now drop and give me twenty A pledge pin On your uniform
Straight from Animal House when Niedermeyer harasses Flounder.
Great song, one of their best, but the one line I've never understood is "Your life is . . . confiscated". What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Anybody got a clue?
This song is a protest against intervention by people in a position of authority, whether that is the government (Taxes, invasive laws, ETC), school, parents, ETC. The narrator is simply saying that what is being done to them is not acceptable.
Just about how we have the right to choose whatever music we want to listen to. It's a classic. I actually kind of laugh when I hear it now. Thanks.
