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

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

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

Will be next

Will be next
