Lyrics
Afraid
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tolerate no one.
They'll try to be your friend,
They're really not; I've told you once,
Maybe a thousand times before.
They'll ask you what you're doing here.
They'll try to push you back,
Won't try to grab you from falling
Off the floor
So as I walk on home,
She told me that I'm wasting my time.
It's not a crime; I only said "hello".
But she's too good for me,
Speaking with me would be below herself,
Can't she tell, that I'm not?
No, I'm not afraid
Won't you come around?
And figure I'm not different from everybody else.
Why am I so different?
This time around
Tolerate no one.
One day we'll rise above
And reach on down, to those who have,
Those who've changed their minds.
And for those of you,
Who think you are better than us,
Well know that you're not, because we're not,
No, we're not afraid
