At last, the big reveal, the mask lay at your feet
The metamorphosis, regrettably complete
Your self shown to the world, your honor set ablaze
I think we've reached the point in time when you and I part ways
I don't care to understand you, you have shown me who you are
The harm imbued in your beliefs is a burning bridge too far
I can't abide the bigotry, I can't abide the hate
There's a limit to what the tolerant themselves will tolerate
Opposing viewpoints aren't a bad thing in themselves
They form the means by which humanity's propelled
But once a point of view steps on somebody's neck
It looks a lot like prejudice, and that, I must reject
I don't care to understand you, you have shown me who you are
The harm imbued in your beliefs is a burning bridge too far
I can't abide the bigotry, I can't abide the hate
There's a limit to what the tolerant themselves will tolerate
I thought I knew you, but I guess that I was wrong
Perhaps I never knew who you were all along
You think that you're a rebel, well, color me impressed
But if we can't agree on decency, then what do we have left?
I don't care to understand you, you have shown me who you are
The harm imbued in your beliefs is a burning bridge too far
I can't abide the bigotry, I can't abide the hate
There's a limit to what the tolerant themselves will tolerate
