The future teaches
you to be alone
The present to be
afraid and cold
Then if I can shoot rabbits,
then I can shoot fascists
Bullets fried 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 maybe vain
Holes are 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 prays
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
