Today's Tolerance

Why is it the supposedly more tolerant Are the least tolerant around Can we no longer speak our own minds Without someone out there shooting us down Feel free to speak your opinion I'm more than willing but never forced to listen That there my friend is your basic right A freedom that seems to be missing Are we not free thinking individuals Did I miss the memo where that's no longer allowed Should I just step into the jet stream And become a part of this mind numbing crowd I can clearly see that you are not me Isn't that what it's supposed to be like It also rings true that I am not you So can't we just live our lives It's hard enough standing on your own two feet That's why at times we might step on some toes But can't we all just get along After all we might like the way that it goes
