Tom Robinson Band – Ain't Gonna Take It lyrics
Prejudice poison
Polluting this land
I'm a middle-class kiddie
But I know where I stand
We 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
They're keeping us under
But we ain't gonna take it no more
Women with children
Have to carry the can
Till they lose them in divorce courts
To some pig of a man
We got Benyon and Whitehouse
Trying to get us stitched
Cos abortion and a gay scene
Only meant for the rich
But we ain't gonna take it
Ain't gonna take it
They're keeping us under
But we ain't gonna take it no more
Sisters and brothers
What have we done
We're fighting each other
Instead of the Front
Better get it together
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
They're keeping us under
But we ain't gonna take it no more
Polluting this land
I'm a middle-class kiddie
But I know where I stand
We 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
They're keeping us under
But we ain't gonna take it no more
Women with children
Have to carry the can
Till they lose them in divorce courts
To some pig of a man
We got Benyon and Whitehouse
Trying to get us stitched
Cos abortion and a gay scene
Only meant for the rich
But we ain't gonna take it
Ain't gonna take it
They're keeping us under
But we ain't gonna take it no more
Sisters and brothers
What have we done
We're fighting each other
Instead of the Front
Better get it together
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
They're keeping us under
But we ain't gonna take it no more
