Where Is All the Tolerance

We're rambling and we're ready
Everybody hop on the bus
Rolling along, rocking steady
Ready Freddy we're all standing up

But are we lost in the translation 
Frenzy spilling from the cup
Drowning out a once great nation
"Where is all the tolerance" 

Memories in the making
Hating where the day comes from
Blind disaster dating
What has happened to all of the love

Aren't we all brothers and sisters
Neighbors with a once peaceful cause
I just have one question mister
"Where is all the tolerance" 

When the pain gets its name from the struggle 
Haven't we all struggled long enough
The deeper the dig uncovers trouble
Forgiveness covered in dust 

Screaming hate only leads to violence 
Where is the trust we once had in love 
What is right should never be silenced
"Where is all the tolerance"

Mike.. I don't see or feel tolerance. We shame or even do worse, anyone with whom we disagree!
