We're Not Gonna Take It

Can someone tell me what happens here? i dont understand why they revolted and what does the last verses mean..

i think it's about organized religion in general. tommy's loyal followers revolt when they realize that tommy wants to regulate them by not letting them smoke or drink, and control them by inhibiting their sight, speech, and hearing. i think it's safe to say the message of this song is anti-religious.

See Me Feel Me is a beautiful song. I think its a shame that it is attached to We're not gonna take it. I don't know how it was intended, as I'm not fan of the entire ablum. But if taken alone, it makes a great love song. "listening to you i get the music"

i love the album....but the end is kinda odd......but anyone who has listened to the album as a whole might think that when the verses of see me feel me comes on it symbolises his inability to see, hear or speak......so perhaps the emotional shock of his disciples revolt sends him into his state of disability once again......

the album is about finding out who you are and wanting to revult about it. This song sums up the aftermath.

As the finale of the story it seems that from Sensation to I'm Free the honest revelation of Tommy is pure I find the line in I'm Free "no one had the guts to leave the temple" that people are not living the intended mission. Like many religious that go to a house of worship then treat people like sh*t -- missing the revealation of their messiah. The next few song demonstrate the loss of the mission "Come to my house -- seems that getting the numbers of worshipers to "be one of us" build a bigger and bigger house of worship kinda like the Megachurches that are popular these days. The holiday camp is further commercialization and perversion (Uncle Ernie) of Tommys message. Finally the people realize that they have been duped!

this is another one of my favorite songs from it.

watching the movie helsp a lot. tommy pretty much turns into a dictator, controlling all the followers "put on your eyeshades, put in your eyeplugs, you know where to put the cork" to become like him, and the they revolt.

still not sure abvout the see me feel me/listening to you part but it sure is the perfect end to the alubm.

amazing.

See Me Feel Me has to do with what happens after the revolt. Once Tommy's followers revolt, Tommy returns to his deaf, dumb and blind state. It's quite a tragic end in my opinion. This boy witnessed a murder and his parents put him into this condition, he's finally cured, and then relapses back into his old state.

But the Woodstock performance of See Me Feel Me is one of the greatest moments in rock.

Tommy doesn't actually lose his sight, speech and hearing again at the end. The meaning of "See me, feel me/Listening to you" is a symbolic isolation rather than a literal deafness and blindness. This isolation is actually worse than the first one- "We forsake you Gonna rape you Let's forget you, better still".
