Very good. Breaks the song down to its core and it still stands. Frankly, a measurable improvement over the original.

Actually, the lyrics would serve well as a Trump theme song:

Oh we’re not gonna take it
No, we ain’t gonna take it
Oh we’re not gonna take it anymore

We’ve got the right to choose it
There ain’t no way we’ll lose 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

Oh 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

Oh Oh

We’re right (yeah)
We’re free (yeah)
We’ll fight (yeah)
You’ll see (yeah)

Oh we’re not gonna take it
No, we ain’t gonna take it
Oh we’re not gonna take it anymore

Oh we’re not gonna take it
No, we ain’t gonna take it
Oh we’re not gonna take it anymore

No way

Oh Oh

We’re right (yeah)
We’re free (yeah)
We’ll fight (yeah)
You’ll see (yeah)

Oh we’re not gonna take it
No, we ain’t gonna take it
Oh we’re not gonna take it anymore

Oh we’re not gonna take it
No, we ain’t gonna take it
Oh we’re not gonna take it anymore

Just you try and make us
We’re not gonna take it
Come on!

No, we ain’t gonna take it
You’re all worthless and weak
We’re not gonna take it anymore

I thought it was good, Mom was taken by cancer in 06. Didn’t know Dee was a Lib.

Sorry about your mom. My mom is currently fighting breats cancer.

I looked up Dee’s politics and he is “prochoice.” That makes him a lib in my book.
