This song was inspired when listening to Widespread Panic one day followed by some Irish bands. I wanted to do a song about the dangers of "thoughtless tolerance". Gabe on bass, Justin on drums, Don Paul guitars.

Story behind the song
I am of the opinion that we should practice tolerance but judiciously. There are people entering our nation who do not love or respect the country, and intend to do us harm. This song deals with the theme by personifying "Tolerance" and the outcome of being tolerant and unwise at the same time.
Lyrics
Tolerance
By Curtis (Q-Man) Reed © 2009
Tolerance let the Intolerant enter through the back door
T’was too late, too late, to reverse her mistake
And they raped her there on the floor
And Death was slow when it came
But worse was the sting of the Shame
Chorus 1
For she had been good, and she had been kind
But foolishly she’d been willfully blind
For she had been good, and she had been kind
But she must have been out of her mind
Virtue stood there paralyzed focused on her own Being
Since haste doth make waste, she chose just to wait
And marveled to see her Chance fleeing
And her Death was slow when it came
But worse was the sting of the Shame
Chorus 2
For she had been good, and she had been kind
But foolishly she’d been willfully blind
For she had been good, and she had been kind
But she was too slow to make up her mind
When Resolve arrived on the scene she knew what had to be done
T’was too late for debate, the need then was great
She fought tooth and nail till she’d won
And Death was Just when it came
Her Glory burned like a flame
Chorus 3
For she had been good, and she had been kind
But she was decisive when it came time
For she had been good, and she had been kind
And she had no Fear to punish the Crime
