Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here
F5                         E5
My name is Tommy, and I became aware this year
Eb5                               G5           G5  G5
If you want to follow me, you've got to play pinball
    C5           G5         C5           G5
And put in your earplugs, put on your eyeshades
    C5                     G5       G5 G5 G5 F5 G5
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]

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
C5               G5              F5       C5     G5
We're not gonna take it, never did and never will
C5               G5              F5               C5
We're not gonna take it, gonna break it, gonna shake it
      Bb5        A5     G5
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

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
C5                    G5         F5       C5         G5
We're not gonna take it, never did and never will
C5               G5              F5      C5      G5
Don't want no religion, and as far as we can tell
C5              G5               F5       C5         G5
We ain't gonna take you. Never did and never will
C5               G5            F5                  C5
We're not gonna take you, we forsake you, gonna rape you
      Bb5         A5     G5
Let's forget you better still
   F5                  C5
We forsake you, gonna rape you
         Bb5      A5     A5
Let's forget you better still

See me     feel me       touch me      heal me 

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

Listening to you, I get the music
          A5    B5         E5
Gazing at you, I get the heat
          A5    B5           C5
Following you, I climb the mountain
         G5       D5       B5    B5
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
