When we get down
If we get down, we'll get up again
If we get down
When we get down, we'll get up again

And you can't take it when we won't take it
You've been taking control of our lives
and you've been making us go
You've been taking control of our lives
and you won't take it when we won't take it

And if we get down, how should we know
If we'll get up again, we'll get up again
And we can take the right way out of here
I'll be sure to show you again

And you can't take it when we won't take it
You've been taking control of our lives
and you've been making us go

You've been taking control of our lives
and you won't take it when we won't take it

And you can't take it when we won't take it
You've been making a joke of our lives and
you've been letting us go

You've been taking control of our lives
and you won't take it if you won't take it

I can't be the one to finally pull you out
again
