(C/G)
Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here
My name is Tommy, and I became aware this year
If you want to follow me, you've got to play pinball
And put in your earplugs, put on your eyeshades
You know where to put the cork
Hey, you, gettin' drunk, so sorry, I've got you sussed
Hey, you, smokin' mother nature, this is a bust
Hey, hung up ol' Mr. Normal, don't try to gain my trust
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways
Although you think you must
[CHORUS]
(G) x4
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it, never did and never will
We're not gonna take it, gonna break it, gonna shake it
(G)
Let's forget it better still

Now you can't hear me, your ears are truly sealed
You can't speak either, 'cause your mouth is filled
You can't see nothing, and pinball completes the scene
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to your very own machine
[repeat CHORUS]
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it, never did and never will
Don't want no religion, and as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you, never did and never will
We're not gonna take you, we forsake you, gonna rape you
(G)
Let's forget you better still

Listening to you, I get the music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory
From you, I get opinions
From you, I get the story
[repeat and fade]
