Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here
F                         Em
My name is Tommy, and I became aware this year
Eb                               G           Gsus4  G
If you want to follow me, you've got to play pinball
    C           G         C           G
And put in your earplugs, put on your eyeshades
    C                     G       G G G F G
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

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
C               G              F       C     G
We're not gonna take it, never did and never will
C               G              F               C
We're not gonna take it, gonna break it, gonna shake it

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
C                    G         F       C         G
We're not gonna take it, never did and never will
C               G              F      C      G
Don't want no religion, and as far as we can tell
C              G               F       C         G
We ain't gonna take you. Never did and never will
C               G            F                  C
We're not gonna take you, we forsake you, gonna rape you
      Bb         Am     G
Let's forget you better still
   F                  C
We forsake you, gonna rape you
         Bb      Am     A
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 the story
