Open Letter to Dee Snider
Mr. Snider,
First of all allow me to tell you that I am a big fan of your music. I have no clue as to what your political affiliation is, but I have an idea. I propose that you allow the much fragmented Democratic Party the use of your music and lyrics. I propose that in order to get a fighting mentality back to the Party. I propose that the Democratic Party be allowed the use of you lyrics for “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” If not those lyrics maybe “Wake Up (The Sleeping Giant.)”?
For those loyal lemmings out there who may have never heard of Twisted Sister or either anthem, here are the lyrics.
We’re Not Gonna Take it
Oh We're Not Gonna Take It
no, We Ain't Gonna Take It
oh We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore
we've Got The Right To Choose And
there Ain't No Way We'll Lose It
this Is Our Life, This Is Our Song
we'll Fight The Powers That Be Just
don't Pick Our Destiny 'cause
you Don't Know Us, You Don't Belong
oh We're Not Gonna Take It
no, We Ain't Gonna Take It
oh We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore
oh You're So Condescending
your Gall Is Never Ending
we Don't Want Nothin', Not A Thing From You
your Life Is Trite And Jaded
boring And Confiscated
if That's Your Best, Your Best Won't Do
oh.....................
oh.....................
we're Right/yeah
we're Free/yeah
we'll Fight/yeah

oh We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore
oh We're Not Gonna Take It

we're Not Gonna Take It Anymore
now Drop And Give Me Twenty
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
Gather 'round us, join with the band
Together we're stronger, together we'll stand
Say what can you do, well, we've got a plan
And we're gonna take you to the promised land
It's time to remember, it's time to move on
They've pushed it too far, they don't know what they've done
If it's a fight that they want then it's a fight that they'll get
We never lose, honey so place your bets
Long ago and far away
We had a voice, you know that we had a say
We won't live for yesterday
Ready or not, we're gonna have our way
CHORUS:
We got the numbers, yeah, we got the might
We got the strength and we got the right
We got the reason, yeah, we got the night
So wake up the sleeping giant
Not one more minute, not one more day
We've waited too long, can't let our chance slip away
We won't stop 'til we get it, we won't stop 'til we're done
We'll bite and we'll claw until they've lost and we've won
We took all we're gonna take
It's got to stop, you know there's too much at stake
Who the hell are they to say
What we can do and how we can play
REPEAT CHORUS
Whoa
Wake up the sleeping giant
Whoa
Wake up the sleeping giant
Let's push to the limit, so let's push 'til we're home
We've been good too long, they wouldn't leave us alone
It's our rights they're abusing, it's our right to fight back
So rally the troops and let's start the attack
REPEAT CHORUS
Whoa
We got the numbers, you know we got the might
Whoa
Wake up the sleeping giant
Whoa
We got the reason and we're ready to fight
Whoa
Wake up the sleeping giant
Sincerely,
A Devoted Fan and Political Vandal
