Never Settle

They paved the path that we had forged

with our very souls at stake

And I'm tired, I'm not sure of how much more we can take

'cause the asphalt's burning my feet



Oh, I can't believe I'm alive with such resentment

for countrymen so depraved

The trail was tinted red with all the blood that we gave

They're trying to bury us alive



So hey, never settle

We're all we've got

They can steal the ground from under our feet

They can break it, but they can't take my heart from me



Remember old Jerome down in High Point?

I've been told of a terrible disgrace

He had a business partner - his name's been erased

Some company kidnapped his brainchild



I can't believe I ever trusted these organ thieves

A self made man they drove insane

He prescribed himself a bullet to ease all the pain:

"Take one with alcohol in the parking lot."



Nobody heard the shot, but we hear the echo today



So hey, never settle

We're all we've got

They can steal the ground from under our feet

They can break it, but they can't take my heart from me
