Lyrics

This is not an accident
You are no mistake
They’re coming after us
But we will hold and say

Not today (not today)
You won’t get us today (won’t get us today)

This is no coincidence
You’re not out of place
They’ll try to conquer us
Won’t let ‘em get their way

Not today (not today)
You won’t get us today (won’t get us today)
Oh oh, not today (not today)
You won’t get your way today (won’t get your way)

And we won’t let up
Won’t let ‘em in
They’re not your friend

Not today
Won’t let ‘em get their way
Oh

Time is ticking down
It’s the final heat
Watch them as they run around
Falling at our feet

Not today (not today)
You won’t get us today (won’t get us today)
Not today (not today)
You won’t get your way today (won’t get your way)

Not today (not today)
You won’t get us today (won’t get us today)
Not today (not today)
You won’t get your way today (won’t get your way)

Told them they won’t
And though we were lost
Don’t ever stop
Don’t let ‘em off

We have seen better them
Better than that, and I say

Not today, you won’t get us today, oh
Not today, you won’t get your way today
So I say

Not today (not today)
Oh whoa oh, not today (won’t get us today)
Not today (not today)
You won’t get your way today (won’t get your way)

Not today, not today
Not today, not today
No

Not today (not today)
You won’t get us today (won’t get us today)
Not today (not today)
You won’t get your way today (won’t get your way)

Not today
Not today

About This Song

A rally cry proclaiming that adversity or institutions that extract will not be prevailing over our individual empowerment today.

What is the song “Not Today” by Chad Lewine about?

One of the few produced songs that came out of the final era of my time in Brooklyn. It was a leveling up of production and songwriting, but never made it on to an album.
