If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next lyrics
by Manic Street Preachers



The future teaches you to be aloneThe present to be afraid and coldSo if I can shoot rabbitsThen I can shoot fascistsBullets for your brain todayBut we'll forget it all againMonuments put from pen to paperTurns me into a gutless wonderAnd if you tolerate thisThen your children will be nextYes if you tolerate thisThen your children will be next, will be nextGravity keeps my head down orIs it maybe shameAt being so young and being so vainHoles in your head today butI'm a pacifistI've walked La Ramblas but notWith real intentAnd on the street tonight an old man playswith newspaper cuttings of his glory daysAnd if you tolerate thisThen your children will be nextYes if you tolerate thisThen your children will be next, will be next
