If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Lyrics - David Usher

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 Las Ramblas 

But not with real intent 

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 

And on the street tonight an old man plays 

With newspaper cuttings of his glory days 

If you tolerate this 

Then your children will be next 

If you tolerate this 

Then your children will be next 

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 

And on the street tonight an old man plays 

With newspaper cuttings of his glory days
