The Who - WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT lyrics

rate me

Tommy: 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 getting drunk, so sorry!

I've got you sussed.

Hey you smoking Mother Nature!

This is a bust!

Hey hung up old 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

Guests:

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

We're not gonna take it

Gonna break it, gonna shake it,

let's forget it better still

Tommy: Now you can't hear me,

your ears are truly sealed.

You can't speak either,

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.

Guests:

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

Let's forget you better still.

Tommy:

See me.

Feel me.

Touch me.

Heal me.

Listening to you,

I get the music.

Gazing at you,

I get the heat.

Following you,

I climb the mountains.

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.

Listening to you,

I get the music.

Gazing at you,

I get the heat.

Following you,

I climb the mountains.

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.

Listening to you,

I get the music.

Gazing at you,

I get the heat.

Following you,

I climb the mountains.

I get excitement at your feet.

(FADE:)

Right behind you,

I see the millions.

On you,

I see the glory.

From you,

I get opinions.

From you,

I get the story.
