[ ]: Lyrics
At that point, Captain Jensen Dar decided to take the microphone as he was joined by several of his crewmembers on the raised platform. Near the back of the audience, his First Officer and several of her crew from the Crimson Twilight gaped in amazement. They weren't actually going to?
Jensen waved to the crowds and spoke. "I must admit that the people from Mejele and the Nivana certainly know how to have fun. Now I think it's time to show everyone that the Fire Heart crew knows a thing or two about how to party! And here's a message from us to the Radam! We're all going to fight with everything we've got! And anything they throw at us, we're NOT gonna take it!"
The karaoke machine then started an up-tempo beat as Jensen and his crew sang out their defiance toward the enemy and emphasized the unity of the two genders.
Jensen: [Oh, we're not gonna take it! No! We ain't gonna take it! Oh, we're not gonna take it, anymore!]
Cue the guitar and drums.
Jensen: [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!]
Aika could only stare in disbelief at her superior. He could actually sing?!
Jensen: [We'll fight the powers that be just, don't pick our destiny 'cause, you don't know us, you don't belong!]
Chorus Line: [Oh, we're not gonna take it! No! We ain't gonna take it! Oh, we're not gonna take it, anymore!]
Jensen: [Oh, you're so condescending! Your gall is never ending! We don't want nothing, not a thing from you!]
The dancers of the floor increased their pace in time with the lyrics.
Jensen: [Your life is so trite and jaded, boring and confiscated! If that's your best, your best won't do!]
Chorus Line and Jensen: [Oh oh oh oh oh oh]
Jensen: [We're right!]
Chorus Line: [Yeah!]
Jensen: [We're free!]
Chorus Line: [Yeah!]
Jensen: [We'll fight!]
Chorus Line: [Yeah!]
Jensen: [You'll see!]
Chorus Line: [Oh, we're not gonna take it! No! We ain't gonna take it! Oh, we're not gonna take it, anymore!]
Chorus Line and Jensen: [We're not gonna take it! No! We ain't gonna take it! Oh, we're not gonna take it, anymore!]
Jensen: [NO WAY!]
Then to Slade's surprise, the Fire Heart's Captain picked up an electric guitar and started to do a guitar solo. Apparently, he was familiar with the instrument as well.
Chorus Line and Jensen: [Oh oh oh oh oh oh]
Jensen: [We're right!]
Chorus Line: [Yeah!]
Jensen: [We're free!]
Chorus Line: [Yeah!]
Jensen: [We'll fight!]
Chorus Line: [Yeah!]
Jensen: [You'll see!]
Then to everyone's surprise, a new set of voices joined up as several more singers came onto the stage.
Aika and her crew: [We're not gonna take it! No! We ain't gonna take it! Oh, we're not gonna take it, anymore!]
Everyone on the stage: [Oh, We're not gonna take it! No! We ain't gonna take it! Oh, we're not gonna take it, anymore!]
Jensen: [Just you try and make us!]
Everyone on the stage: [Oh, We're not gonna take it!]
Jensen: [Come on!]
Everyone on stage: [No! We ain't gonna take it!]
Jensen: [The Radam's worthless and weak!]
Every one stage: [Oh, we're not gonna take it, anymore!]
Jensen: [Now drop and give me twenty!]
Everyone on the stage: [Oh, We're not gonna take it!]
Jensen: [Oh, crinch pin!]
Everyone on stage: [No! We ain't gonna take it!]
Jensen: [You and your uniform!]
Everyone stage: [Oh, we're not gonna take it, anymore!]
The music then faded away as the song ended. There was an enormous roar of approval and applause as the Fire Heart's crew, both male and female, took their bows.
