The future teaches you to be alone
|
The present to be afraid and cold
|
So if I can shoot rabbits
|
Then I can shoot fascists
|
|
Bullets for your brain today
|
But we'll forget it all again
|
Monuments put from pen to paper
|
Turns me into a gutless wonder
|
|
And if you tolerate this
|
Then your children will be next
|
And if you tolerate this
|
Then your children will be next
|
Will be next
|
Will be next
|
Will be next
|
|
Gravity keeps my head down
|
Or is it maybe shame
|
At being so young and being so vain
|
|
Holes in your head today
|
But I'm a pacifist
|
I've walked La Ramblas
|
But not with real intent
|
|
And if you tolerate this
|
Then your children will be next
|
And if you tolerate this
|
Then your children will be next
|
Will be next
|
Will be next
|
Will be next
|
Will be next
|
|
And on the street tonight an old man plays
|
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days
|
|
And if you tolerate this
|
Then your children will be next
|
And if you tolerate this
|
Then your children will be next
|
Will be next
|
Will be next
|
Will be next
|

If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next
