Settle For Nothing Lyrics by Rage Against The Machine

Settle For Nothing Lyrics

    A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
    Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
    A world of violent rage
    But it's one that I can recognise
    Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes
    Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
    I tried to grip my family
    But I slipped

    To escape from the pain in an existence mundane
    I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name

    Read my writing on the wall
    No-one's here to catch me when I fall
    Death is on my side....suicide!

    A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
    Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
    A world of violent rage
    But it's one that I can recognise
    Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes
    Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
    I tried to grip my family
    But I slipped

    To escape from the pain in an existence mundane
    I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name

    Read my writing on the wall
    No-one's here to catch me when I fall
    Caught between my culture and the system....genocide!

    Read my writing on the wall
    No-one's here to catch me when I fall
    If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face
    Yeah!

    If we don't take action now
    We settle for nothing later
    Settle for nothing now
    And we'll settle for nothing later

    If we don't take action now
    We settle for nothing later
    We'll settle for nothing now
    And we'll settle for nothing later

    If we don't take action now
    We'll settle for nothing later
    We settle for nothing now
    And we'll settle for nothing later

    If we don't take action now
    We settle for nothing later
    We'll settle for nothing now
    And we'll settle for nothing later
