Settle For Less

(album: Death Wish Blues - 2023)

Paper planes, paper cuts, all that's in between
The work is hard, never ends, returns are lean
You give, they take, baby, baby, all I've ever seen
You don't believe in breaking even, never was the dream

Tough luck she came, took your edge after a knock or two
You took a swing down in the ring, got your knuckles bruised
A sacrifice, that does nothing but eat away at you
On your last leg, you'll wanna beg but you'll have to choose

Settle for less, settle for worse
You gonna get out, out what you deserve
Settle for less, settle for worse
You gonna get out, out what you deserve

You gonna get out, out what you deserve

Held out for long, held up like a detainee
You stand accused of expectations, how do you plead?
Desire will break you down, to dirt and debris
I wanna wake up 'fore I make up who I used to be

Settle for less, settle for worse
You gonna get out, out what you deserve
Settle for less, settle for worse
You gonna get out, out what you deserve

What you deserve
You gonna get out, baby
You gonna get what you deserve, baby

Settle for less, settle for worse
You gonna get out, out what you deserve
Settle for less, settle for worse
You gonna get out, out what you deserve
What you deserve
You gonna get out what you deserve
What you deserve
Not gonna settle for less
