If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next
Manic Street Preachers
[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]
Ahh ahhh, ahh ahhh
Ahh ahhh, ahh ahhh
