Lyrics

[INTRO]

[VERSE]

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]
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

[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE]
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 PACAFIST
I'VE WALKED LA RAMBLAS BUT NOT WITH REAL INTENTt

[CHORUS]

[SOLO]

[BRIDGE]
And on the street tonight an old man prays
with newspaper cuttings of his glory days

[CHORUS]
