If You Tolerate This (then Your Children Will Be Next) Lyrics - Manic Street Preachers

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 

Refrain: 

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 

Photos 

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 La Ramblas but not 

With real intent 

And on the street tonight an old man plays 

with newspaper cuttings of his glory days
