Why settle every morning for the same black and white,
seven spoons of sugar and a spoon of mold mixed together like you’re always told?
why settle every day for the same old ways,
take the bus at five past eight, two dollars forty cents, coffee black and see-trough pants?
why settle every night having pizza and a beer on your couch
than a Xanax to lay down, to never dream and never dare and never try…
Why settle in Seattle, when there’s so much going on around the world?
Why settle in Seattle when adventure calls its horn…
Open up your eyes, absorb the very sound, sharpen up those teeth and break the habit,
never to return, never to submit, never to defeat…never settle!
Quit that boring job and the bus you know so well, take a plunge in to the deep,
drop the shoes and walk into the rain like a derailed choo-choo train,
chase the neighbor’s dog around the pool with a viking hammer made of bone,
there’s a pub on Charleston street, crusader of true meaning go get a pint!
Never settle, so they said, Georgia men with many beers ahead,
never settle for a number, always dig beyond the morning call,
more than a buzz alarm, more than a shiny thing, more than a phone,
and when you got her on the hook you just go and you don’t look,
never settle in Seattle when there’s so much going on around the world,
Never Settle in Seattle…
Never Settle for One… Get Two!
