10000 Maniacs - Tolerance Lyrics
[ merchant ]The still and silence is torn with violence.A loud breaking sound in the night is made.Hear it grow, hear it fade.The sound youre hearing, the sound youre fearingIs the hate that parades up and down our streets, coming within bounds and within reach.Now, inside the place we hide away, we hear it near and hope it turns away.Turn away...Theres something seething in the air were breathing.We learn slash and burn is the method to use.Set a flame, burn it new.Were overpowered.We kneel, we cower, we cover our heads.Feel the threat of blows that will come and the damage that will be done in its wake.Now, inside this place we hide away, we hear it near although its miles away.We hear it near and hope it turns away.Turn away...This house divided, we live inside it.Hates dwelling place is behind our door in fitful nights.Hear it walk the floor and hear it rave as it moans and drags along its ball and chain,As it moves through this house it cant escape.Now inside this place we hide away.We hear it near and hope it turns away.Turn away....
