Standard (EADGBE)

We're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore

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

Oh...

We're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore

(No more, no more, no more)

We're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore

(Same chords for 2nd verse as the 1st verse and chorus)

Oh, you're so condescending

Your gall is never ending

We don't want nothin', not a thing, from you (From you, from you)

Your life is trite and jaded

Boring and confiscated

If that's your best, your best won't do!

Oh...

We're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore

(I won't take it no more)

We're not gonna take it (No more)

No, we ain't gonna take it (No more)

We're not gonna take it anymore

Oh... Oh...

 We're right, yeah

 We're free, yeah

 We'll fight, yeah

 You'll see, yeah

We're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore

Wow!

Oh...

(No more, no more)

Woh!

No more, no more, no more!

We're not gonna take it (No more)

No, we ain't gonna take it (No more)

We're not gonna take it anymore

Oh...

Woh!

We're not gonna take it (We're gonna take it)

No, we ain't gonna take it (We're gonna take it)

We're not gonna take it anymore

We're not gonna take it

No, we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore
