Tolerance Lyrics
(Genocide)
(It means extermination;)
(The killing off of an entire people.)
(That’s practically what we did to the Indians)
I don’t really like you,
But it’s not my right to
Prejudge or spite you.
Even though I’d like to
I don’t have a reason
Don’t think I need one
It’s my contribution
To societal relations
Cause Tolerance…
Is all that I’ll concede.
Tolerance…
Is all I’ll concede yeah.
I know you would like it
If I would recognize it
It would be to your benefit
If you realize that.
That I don’t really like you,
But it’s not my right to
Prejudge or spite you.
Although that’s what I might do.

Cultural mutilation
Mental segregation,
Ritual separation.
Almost without exception.
These days things are better
Cultures comes together,
But better is not acceptable.
Because tolerant is not respectful.

I just love this song. It's something that I can relate to. I guess I'm not the only native who feels this way sometimes.
