about

This is a song about little horses and the people that love them.

lyrics

Once Upon A Time in the magical land of the real world
A pretty big fandom blew up on a show ostensibly made for little girls
And being who we are we came up with certain memes and things
to differentiate ourselves

As I've looked back over these past few handful of years
This phrase folks spouted to me never really seemed sincere
I mean sure it's a nice idea but once you add in the fact we're all human beings
Well you know how that goes, so I say

Love and tolerance is dead
I wanna find something else instead
Something that's a little bit more real
For me and you
This is not a social revolution
Of which a single model offers a single solution
Some things you shouldn't tolerate
Some people cannot be loved

Now don't misunderstand me I'm not saying we should all quit and jump ship
To whatever flavor of the month fandom currently hip
Oh no I still love these little horses and that right there'll never change
Oh no it won't
I just think those three little words really have dropped the ball
Because as the show has taught us one size does not fit all
As for what we should use instead
well you're gonna have to ask someone smarter than me filly
Cuz all I know is

Love and tolerance is dead
I wanna find something else instead
something that's a little bit more real
For me and you
No this is not a call to disavow
This is a hoofsmack meant to drag us into now
The legacy of before doesn't have to remain

Yeah the past is gone now
We gotta move on now, we gotta move on
The time is ours to take up the reins
And rewrite all the rules
I know that change can be scary
But we should be wary of trotting in place
And that's why I say Love and Tolerance is Dead

(Instrumental wankery)

Yeah, I know that change can be scary
But we should be wary of trotting in place
And that's why I say Love and Tolerance is Deeeeeaaaaauuugh
