Ain’t Gonna Take It (BBC Radio ’in Concert’) Songtext
von Tom Robinson Band

Prejudice poison, polluting this land
I′m a middle class kiddy but I know where I stand
I've got brothers in Brixton, backs to the wall
Bigots on the backlash, divided we fall

But we ain′t gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
Ain't gonna take it (ain′t gonna take it)
I said they′re keeping us under but we ain't gonna take it no more
No more

Women with children always carry the can
Till they lose them in divorce court to some pig of a man
We got Bennett and Waxhawse trying to get us stitched
′Cause abortion and the gay scene are only meant for the rich


But we ain't gonna take it (ain′t gonna take it)
Ain't gonna take it (ain′t gonna take it)
I said they're keeping us under but we ain't gonna take it no more
No more

Oh yeah! Oh no!

Sisters and brothers, what have we done?
We′re fighting each other now instead of the front
We better get it together, there′s big trouble to come
And the odds are against us, about twenty to one

But we ain't gonna take it (ain′t gonna take it)
Ain't gonna take it (ain′t gonna take it)
I said they're keeping us under but we ain′t gonna take it no more
No more

No, we ain't gonna take it (ain't gonna take it)
Ain′t gonna take it (ain′t gonna take it)
I said they're keeping us under but we ain′t gonna take it no more
No more
No more!
