Mr Intolerance Lyrics & Chords By Boyd Rice And Friends

I'm not a tolerant person

In fact I get more intolerant by the day

I just find it more and more difficult to tolerate assholes

As my tolerance decreases, their numbers seem to increase

Every day there's more and more of them

And every day I have less and less patience

I'm not a mere bigot

But I certainly don't cut any slack to anyone on the merit of their status as an oppressed minority

Your people were enslaved? Tough luck

The white man stole your land? Too fuckin' bad

Your fair sex is plagued by date rape? Grin and bear it

These days everyone has a sob story, and frankly, I don't care

It's no excuse for being an asshole

We live in the age of the excuse

We live in the age of the asshole

They're everywhere

They come in all shapes, all sizes, all colors

There are black assholes, white assholes, women assholes, men assholes, queer assholes, straight assholes, smart assholes, stupid assholes, suburban assholes, inner-city assholes, homeless assholes, upwardly-mobile assholes, lazy assholes, incompetent assholes, sloppy assholes, anal assholes

And so it goes, ad nauseum

Why should I tolerate any of them?

Why should I tolerate anything I don't care for, for any length of time?

Why should I pretend it's okay?

I don't like assholes

Don't like talking to them; don't like talking about them

Don't like knowing them; don't like knowing about them, or their thoughts, or their deeds

Assholes are like bad ideas

You let even a single one into your life, it can begin to ruin things

It can destroy what's good, and foster much that's bad

Why tolerate that?

Tolerance was a virtue once; no more

There aren't enough hours in the day to tolerate all the assholes

To tolerate all the indignities hurled your way and still be able to live a decent life

Perhaps Goethe said it best: that which disturbs your soul, you must not suffer

Remember that when it seems like assholes are hard at work to disturb your soul 24 hours a day

Take a tip from Mr. Intolerance: don't permit them to
