'If you tolerate this, your children will be next'
Verse 1
Am Em
The future teaches you to be alone
F C
The present to be afraid and cold
F
So if I can shoot rabbits
C G
Then I can shoot fascists
Verse 2 (chords same as V1)
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
F
And if you tolerate this
C G
Then your children will be next
F
And if you tolerate this
C G
Then your children will be next, will be
next, will be next
Verse 3 (Am,Em,F,C,F,C,G)
Gravity keeps my head down or
Is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain
Verse 4
Holes in your head today but
I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas but not
With real intent
Chorus
Solo: (/= slide)
B----6/10---8/13---12---10---6---10---5---1---3---
Bridge
F C G
And on the street tonight an old man plays
F C G
with newspaper cuttings of his glory days
Chorus
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
yes if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next, will be
next, wil be next
