IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT

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...

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..

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...
YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT

Unexpected phone call and she's got something to say
"Remember Mitchy's party? Well there's a baby on the way".
Heart stops, head rocks, completely shocked, mouth as dry as sand
Overdose of reality as the phone drops from my hand

I never thought about the future, I never looked beyond today
Never cared what was happening, never thought I'd have to pay
For the hunger and oppression, displacement, terror and war
All the problems that we shrugged off we inflict on the unborn

If you tolerate this your children will be next,
If you tolerate this your children will be next,
If you tolerate this your children will be next...
