Rage Against The Machine Settle For Nothing
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 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 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 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
