Lyrics Tom Robinson

Tom Robinson

Ain't Gonna Take It

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

'Cause 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
