We’re Not Gonna Take It (Stripped Down/Piano Only Version) Lyrics

We've got the right to choose it
There ain't no way we'll lost it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be just
Don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
Oh you're so condescending
Your gall is never ending
We don't want nothin'
Not a thing from you
Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
We're right
We're free
We'll fight
You'll see
Oh, oh we're not gonna take it
Oh no, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it any more
Oh no, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
Oh no, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it any more
We're not gonna take it
Oh no, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it any more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee Snider has collaborated with famed illusionist Criss Angel on a new video for the band’s classic song “We’re Not Gonna Take It” to generate awareness and funding for Angel’s new charity. The clip, which was directed by Angel in the desert outside of Las Vegas, can be seen below.

“We’ve known each other since the 1990s, and he was a strong proponent of mine for years,” Angel told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “We are both from Long Island, or as we like to think of it, ‘Strong Island,’ and his record publishing company gave me the rights to the song and it is our anthem for gratis. Dee was unbelievably generous with his time and participation.”

Snider will sing the new version of “We’re Not Gonna Take It” on September 12 at HELP (Heal Every Life Possible), a star-studded one-night only performance benefitting pediatric cancer research and treatment with the aim of finding a cure. The event, which will take place at Luxor in Las Vegas will feature additional performances and appearances from iconic actor and comedian Jerry Lewis; singer and artist Tony Orlando; legendary magicians Siegfried & Roy and Lance Burton, comedians Howie Mandel, Andrew Dice Clay and Tom Green; fellow Las Vegas headliners Blue Man Group, Carrot Top, Cirque du Soleil artists, Gordie Brown, Terry Fator and Mr. Las Vegas, himself — Wayne Newton; actors Gary Oldman and Miles Brown; music legends Gene Simmons (KISS), Richie Sambora (BON JOVI), Vince Neil (MÖTLEY CRÜE), Taboo; and world heavyweight championship boxers Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather and MMA champions Randy “The Natural” Couture and Chuck Liddell.

Tickets are available now at CrissAngelHELP.com.
