Morning Glory - Tolerate! lyrics

rate me

let me live hard and fast

let me die young at last

let me stay by letting me go

let me love those i don't know

let me shout and sing along

and let the world now hear my song

let me question, overstate,

understand and tolerate!

you own your hate

you're owned by the state

who write the rules

for wise men and fools

the ashes of the constitution cloud the way

as moral rectitude leads common sense astray

the arbitrary laws of man-

bind my heart if you still can!

objectify your inner hate and turn it into truth

i used to feel that way sometimes

but mainly as a youth

of primal instinct all men own an equal stock in hate

there's no primal instinct urging you to tolerate

you're radical

you're sure you're right

for all our sakes

be wrong tonight

together bound upon a planet webbed in faiths

whose proclamations all agree but seem a wraith

a call to arms in a time of peace

i call it on myself to cease
