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

And we won't take it, when you won't take it
ohhh no, you've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting this go
You've been taking control of our lives
And we won't take it, when you won't take it oh no.

And if we get down, how should we know
If we'll get up again? Get up again.
And we can take the right way out, if you are
I'll be sure to show you again
And we won't take it, when you won't take it, oh no

You've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting this go, ohhh
You've been taking control of our lives
And we won't take it, when you won't take oh no

I can't be the one to find out who you are again
But we wont' take it, when you won't take it oh no
You've been making a joke of our lives
And you've been letting this go
You've been taking control of our lives
And you've been letting this go
