Cover art for Settle For Nothing lyrics by Rage Against the Machine

No props for settle for nothing huh? Oh well here's mine

I'm interested in the progression in the chorus ('read my writing...') the end line of each moves from suicide (killing self) to genocide (killing others) to just plain depresion towards like found in opening ones eyes to the reallity. My drawn conclusion is that the bulk of the song is an example of the wrong way to live. The message pushed entirely by the end stanzas of 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

So pretty Much... Take Action

Thank u an insightful comment.
