Tool - Intolerance lyrics

I don't want to be dismal.

But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

See

I want to believe you,

and I want to trust

and I want to have faith to put away the dagger.

But you lie, cheat, and steal.

And yet

I tolerate you.

Veil of virtue hung to hide your method

while I smile and laugh and dance

and sing your praise and glory.

Shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma

as I smile and laugh and dance

and sing your glory

while you

lie, cheat, and steal.

How can I tolerate you.

Our guilt,our blame ,

I've been far too sympathetic.

Our blood, our fault.

I've been far too sympathetic.

I am not innocent.

You are not innocent.

Noone is innocent.

I will no longer tolerate you

Even if I must go down beside you.

Because,

Noone is innocent
