I don’t want it your way!
You worthless hypocrites—I’ve heard all you have to say!
You refuse to be swayed
An’ miss opportunities—you piss ‘em all away!
But we’re not givin’ up—no, we’re not givin’ in! (x2)
I’ve seen it before
People shot for less—why can’t we shoot for more?
The ones in power wish for us to be divided
The power’s ours if we fight to be united
We’re not givin’ up—no, we’re not givin’ in! (x2)
Don’t even try to explain!
I won’t be caught playing your racist, classist games!
No shutting down our civil rights—NO WAY!
We fought for them before; we’ll fight again today!
