Intro:  Am   Em   F   C   X2


Am                        Em
The future teaches you to be alone
    F                                C
The present to be afraid and cold
       F                           C
'So if I can shoot rabbits then I can
      G
shoot fascists'


Am               Em
Bullets for your brain today
    F                            C
But we'll forget it all again
          F
Monuments put from pen to paper
C                               G
Turns me into a gutless wonder

           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                                 G
then your children will be next
           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                                 G
then your children will be next,

will be next, will be next, will be next


Solo:  Am      Em      F       C


Am            Em
Gravity keeps my head down
F              C
Or is it maybe shame
   F                  C        G
At being so young and being so vain


Am            Em
Holes in your head today
    F     C
but I'm a pascifist
     F
I've walked La Ramblas
C                          G
but not with real intent


           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                         G
then your children will be next
            Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                                 G
then your children will be next,

will be next, will be next, will be next


Solo: Dm    Am    G   X2


     Dm            Am
'And on the street tonight-
           G
An old man plays
     Dm                 Am           G
with newspaper cuttings of his glory days


           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                         G
Then your children will be next
           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                                 G
Then your children will be next,

Will be next, will be next, will be next
