[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
