  Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here
  F                           Em
    My name is Tommy, and I became aware this year
  Eb                                 G           C/G  G
    If you want to follow me, you've got to play pinball
      C           G         C           G
  And put in your earplugs, put on your eyeshades
      C                     G       G5 G5 G5 F5 G5
  You know where to put the cork
  
  Hey, you, gettin' drunk, so sorry, I've got you sussed
  Hey, you, smokin' mother nature, this is a bust
  Hey, hung up ol' Mr. Normal, don't try to gain my trust
  'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways
  Although you think you must

  Now you can't hear me, your ears are truly sealed
  You can't speak either, 'cause your mouth is filled
  You can't see nothing, and pinball completes the scene
  Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to your very own machine
  
  [repeat CHORUS]
  We're not gonna take it
  We're not gonna take it
  We're not gonna take it
  We're not gonna take it

    Don't want no religion, and as far as we can tell
  C                G               F       C         G
    We ain't gonna take you, never did and never will
  C                 G               F               C
    We're not gonna take you, we forsake you, gonna rape you
        Bb         Am    (G)
  Let's forget you better still

  Listening to you, I get the music
            A    B         E
  Gazing at you, I get the heat
            A    B           C
  Following you, I climb the mountain
          G        D       Bsus4    B
  I get excitement at your feet
  
  Right behind you, I see the millions
  On you, I see the glory
  From you, I get opinions
  From you, I get the story
