[Intro]
Am Em F C Em7
Am Em
The future teaches you to be alone
F C
The present to be afraid and cold
F C G
"So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists."
Am Em
Bullets for your brain today
F C
But we'll forget it all again
F
Monuments put from pen to paper
C G
Turns me into a gutless wonder
G Dm Am G
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
G Dm Am G G
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
G G G
Will be next, will be next, will be next
Am Em
Gravity keeps my head down
F C
Or is it maybe shame
F C G
At being so young and being so vain
Am Em
Holes in your head today
F C F C G
But I'm a pacifist, I’ve walked La Ramblas but not with real intent
G Dm Am G
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
G Dm Am G G
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next
F C G Dm
"And on the street tonight - an old man prays, with newspaper cuttings of
Am G
his glory days."
G F C G
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
G Dm Am G G
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next
