We're not gonna take it- no we aint gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it ---anymore.

We've got the right to choose and
there aint no way we're losin
This is our life-
this is our song.
We'll fight the powers that be just
don't pick our destiny cuz-
You dont know us, you don't belong.

We're not gonna take it- no we aint gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it ---anymore.

Oh youre so condesending,
your gall is never ending,
we dont want nothing- not a thing from you
Your life is trife and jaded- boring and confiscated.
If thats your best- your best won't do

o-o-o o-o-o we're right
[yeah]
we're free
[yeah]
we'll fight
[yeah]

[yeah]

We're not gonna take it- no we aint gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it ---anymore.

We're not gonna take it- no we aint gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it ---anymore.
NO way!

o-o-o
o-o-o
we're right
[yeah]
we're free
[yeah]

[yeah]

[yeah]

We're not gonna take it- no we aint gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it ---anymore.
We're not gonna take it- no we aint gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it ---anymore.
just you try and make us!
We're not gonna take it- (C'mon!) no we aint gonna take it!
(You're all worthless and weak!) We're not gonna take it ---anymore.
now drop and give me 20!
We're not gonna take it- no we aint gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it ---anymore.

Welcome to the abandoned land
Come on in, child, take my hand
Here there's no work or play
Only one bill to pay
There's just five words to say
As you go down, down, down

You're gonna burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell

You can't believe all the things I've done wrong in my life
Without even trying I've lived on the edge of a knife
Well, I've played with fire, but I don't want to get myself burned
To thine own self be true, so I think that it's time for a change

Before I burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell

Take a good look in your heart, tell me what do you see?
It's black and it's dark, now is that how you want it to be?
It's up to you, what you do will decide your own fate
Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late

Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you
Lay no evil down on me
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil don't you
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free

And then you'll burn in hell

You're gonna burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell

I wanna rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK
I want to rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK

Turn it down you say,
Well all I gotta say to you is
Time and time again i say no
No no no no no

Tell me not to play
Well all I gotta say to
When you tell me not to play
Is say no
No no no no no

So if you ask me
Why I like the way I play it
There's only one thing
I can say to you

I wanna rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK
I want to rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK

There's a feeling that
I get from nothing else
And there aint nothing
In the world that
Makes me go, GO
Go go go go go

Turn the power up
I've waited for so long
So I can hear
My favorite song
So lets go, GO
Go go go go go

When it's not this
I feel the music shooting
Through me
There's nothing else
That I would rather do

I wanna rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK
I want to rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK

I wanna rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK
I want to rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK

How long I have wanted
This dream to come true
And as it approaches
I can't believe I'm through
I've tried,
Oh, How I've tried for a life,
Yes a life I thought I knew
(Chorus)
Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose,
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done

Time seems to be frozen,
But the mind can be fooled
As the days pass I discover
Destiny just can't be ruled
Hard times, Oh hard times,
For the prize, Yes the prize,
I thought I knew
Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose,
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done

(Repeat Chorus x 2)

you can hear the thunder
long before the storm,
but you can't hear the lion when he stalks his prey
he's moving like a shadow
creeping up on you
and like a siren's call he's gonna have his way
you'd better run, forget your pride
don't make a stand, just step aside
if you don't have what it takes
don't try to play you'll lose your stakes
remember this at least

it's the nature of the beast
it's the nature of the beast

you won't hear a footstep
comin' up on you
movin' like a snake he's in complete control
this killer knows his business
he is the predator
you are his only target, you're his only goal
what will you say what will you do?
your wildest nightmare's comin' true
there is nothing you can say
no way to change, he won't delay
this cain will have his feast

it's the nature of the beast
it's the nature of the beast

if you play you're bound to lose
don't roll the dice, don't turn the screws
just listen to the priest

it's the nature of the beast
it's the nature of the beast
it's the nature of the beast
it's the nature of the beast

Black sheep of the family
Nothing like the rest
Separate from the others
Failing all their tests
Can't they see you're different?
So hungry and so lean
You're a walking wonder
You're a metal machine
Look and you'll see
You're a lot like me

Chorus:
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.-M.-F.

Caught up in their worries
And tomorrow's dream
Missing all the living
Milk without the cream
They think you're so foolish
Living for today
Caring just what you think
Not what others say
Join with us
Oh, how they'll scream and fuss

Repeat Chorus

All right, all right

Guitar solo - Jay Jay French

We're the ones that live it
We're all really free
And if they think that we're sick
Then sick is what we'll be
Scream it loud
Know what you are, be proud

Repeat Chorus
