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
Oh we're not gonna take it 
Anymore  

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
