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 SongtexteWe 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
