We're Not Gonna Take It" is a song by the American band Twisted Sister from their album Stay Hungry. It was first released as a single (with "You Can't Stop Rock & Roll" as the B-side) on April 27, 1984. The Stay Hungry album was released two weeks later, on May 10, 1984. The single reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, making it Twisted Sister's only Top 40 single
No, we ain't gonna take it (You're all worthless and weak!) We're not gonna take it anymore (Now drop and give me twenty!) Oh, we're not gonna take it (A pledge pin?!) No, we ain't gonna take it (On your uniform!) We're not gonna take it anymore. In 1985, the PMRC included We’re Not Gonna Take It on their infamous ‘filthy fifteen’, citing it for ‘violence’, as part of their campaign to get records they found offensive labeled with a parental advisory sticker. Snider testified in court against them, pointing out, there is absolutely no violence of any type either sung about or implied anywhere in the song.
Oh, you're so condescending, your gall is never ending We don't want nothing, not a thing, from you Your life is trite and jaded, boring and confiscated If that's your best, your best won't do. We're right, yeah We're free, yeah We'll fight, yeah You'll see, yeah. We're not gonna take it No, we ain't gonna take it We're not gonna take it anymore We're not gonna take it No, we ain't gonna take it We're not gonna take it anymore.

On their 2006 album A Twisted Christmas, they did a version of "O Come, All Ye Faithful" with using the traditional lyrics but set to the music of "We're Not Gonna Take I. Dee Snider started writing this song in 1980, two years before Twisted Sister released their first album, Under the Blade. He had the hook, but couldn't come up with a verse melody. After Def Leppard released their Pyromania album in 1983, Snider came up with a plan
