[00:00.405]
[00:14.093] When you climb the hill of vision
[00:17.463] As above so it was below
[00:20.859] Through the apathy and derision
[00:24.307] Each step descending you took alone
[00:27.807] And when they pin you in the corner
[00:31.255] Pay no heed to their droning on
[00:34.730] 'Cause you're not going back where you don't belong
[00:39.641]
[00:52.493] Well you rose up through the ranks now
[00:55.732] And you worked hard for your luck
[00:59.206] You've only got yourself to thank now
[01:02.393] You and everybody else in the book
[01:06.129] And there are hidden hands to guide you
[01:09.629] The forces now at play
[01:13.077] But you've got to learn to get out of the way
[01:18.041]
[01:30.449] Oh no, don't settle
[01:37.450] Oh woah, not yet
[01:44.398] Oh-oh, don't settle
[01:52.862] For less
[01:53.907]
[02:12.637] May your song ring true and bright now
[02:15.745] And be honed by your own hand
[02:19.037] As the day gives way to night now
[02:22.380] May it echo through the land
[02:25.828] And when they turn your words against you
[02:29.120] Try to grind you to the ground
[02:32.568] Let them know that they might beat you
[02:36.068] But they'll never turn you around
[02:39.360] Oh no, don't settle
[02:46.282] Oh woah, not yet
[02:52.865] Oh-oh, don't settle
[03:00.049] For less
[03:02.060]
[03:06.919] Well you sought no one's allegiance
[03:10.002] You were cowed by no one's hand
[03:13.450] You outgrew your antecedents
[03:16.715] Worked your own corner of the land
[03:20.294] And when they set their sights upon you
[03:23.664] Come to mine the seam you struck
[03:27.060] May you bid them well and wish them luck
[03:31.892]
[04:08.072] Oh no, don't settle
[04:14.785] Oh woah, not yet
[04:21.864] Oh-oh, don't settle
[04:28.473] And don't forget
[04:31.373] What Liam Clancy said:
[04:35.500] No envy, no anger, no cruelty, no regrets
[04:42.240] No jealousy, no rancour, no confusion; don't forget
[04:49.032] No envy, no anger, no incredulity; show respect
[04:55.824] No envy, no anger, no judgement on no one; lest you forget
[05:06.978] Lest you forget what they did to you
[05:13.091] Come on, rise off your knees, you're not beaten yet
[05:22.704] No envy, no anger, no judgement on no one; lest you forget
[05:35.399] Lest you forget
[05:40.780] Come on, you're not beaten yet
[05:49.531] And you're not going back where you don't fit
[05:54.233]
