[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

[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 Las 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

[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

[Outro]
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
