Rage Against The Machine: Settle For Nothing

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

I can relate to feeling like I don't belong in the world, and the boyz I did dirt with, were my family, and feeling like I finally found my place in the world. I spent a lot of my young adult life locked up. Education was the way I broke those chains. Rage taught me a lot of lessons through their lyrics. Education, and putting that effort forward is the only way to beat the system. Your oppressors want you to sell drugs and be caged like an animal, so they can point their fat ass fingers.

All this rage here. "settle for nothing now and settle for nothing later." Why are we sitting quietly? CNN,Fox, Apple, Facebook, the corrupt banking system are all thriving quite well. Feeding us the bull and this ignorance that leads us to a false bliss. Its time to do something only problem is what? Shame, Zack saw this years ago and the majority of the population denies it. Were at a crucial moment in society that if we don't do something soon our chances of changing grow ever slimmer.

[MOTHIKAS]

One of the greatest songs ever written.
