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 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

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

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

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

We forsake you, gonna rape you

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

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 mountain

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
