[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

And on the street tonight, an old man plays

With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, oh

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, oh
