Rage Against the Machine - Settle for Nothing lyrics
[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 recognize
Having never seen the color
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 got a nine, a sign, a set
And now I got a 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 recognize
Having never seen the color
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 got a nine, a sign, a set
And now I got a 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'll 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'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'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'll settle for nothing now
And we'll settle for nothing later
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 recognize
Having never seen the color
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 got a nine, a sign, a set
And now I got a 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 recognize
Having never seen the color
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 got a nine, a sign, a set
And now I got a 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'll 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'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'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'll settle for nothing now
And we'll settle for nothing later
