If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next - Manic Street Preachers
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 Rambas but Not with real intent
( * )
And on the streets tonight An old man prays
With newspaper cuttings Of his glory days
( * )
