When you climb the hill of vision As above so it was below Through the apathy and derision Each step descending you took alone And when they pin you in the corner Pay no heed to their droning on 'Cause you're not going back where you don't belong
Well you rose up through the ranks now And you worked hard for your luck You've only got yourself to thank now You and everybody else in the book And there are hidden hands to guide you The forces now at play But you've got to learn to get out of the way
Oh no, don't settle Oh woah, not yet Oh-oh, don't settle For less
May your song ring true and bright now And be honed by your own hand As the day gives way to night now May it echo through the land And when they turn your words against you Try to grind you to the ground Let them know that they might beat you But they'll never turn you around Oh no, don't settle Oh woah, not yet Oh-oh, don't settle For less
Well you sought no one's allegiance You were cowed by no one's hand You outgrew your antecedents Worked your own corner of the land And when they set their sights upon you Come to mine the seam you struck May you bid them well and wish them luck
Oh no, don't settle Oh woah, not yet Oh-oh, don't settle And don't forget What Liam Clancy said: No envy, no anger, no cruelty, no regrets No jealousy, no rancour, no confusion; don't forget No envy, no anger, no incredulity; show respect No envy, no anger, no judgement on no one; lest you forget Lest you forget what they did to you Come on, rise off your knees, you're not beaten yet No envy, no anger, no judgement on no one; lest you forget Lest you forget Come on, you're not beaten yet And you're not going back where you don't fit
