Zack de la Rocha Settle for Nothing (Live)

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
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!

[Chorus]
Read my writing on the wall!
No one’s here to catch me when I fall!
Death is on my side!
Suicide!

[Verse 1]
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!

[Chorus]
Read my writing on the wall!
No one’s here to catch me when I fall!
Caught between my culture and the system
Genocide!

[Bridge]
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!

[Outro x3]
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
Now (14x)
