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

I would like to point out that I think when he keeps repeating the last four lines:

"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 think the first two lines mean that if we don't do something about the problems in our society, then we'll just take them for a given later. But the second two lines are saying that we should settle for nothing, as in no settling, but instead taking what we want, our freedom. I'm not sure if any of that made sense. Hope so though.
