Lyrics

[00:21.66] The future teaches you to be alone
[00:25.35] The present to be afraid and cold
[00:30.28] So if I can shoot rabbits
[00:32.84] Then I can shoot fascists
[00:41.77] Bullets for your brain today
[00:45.76] But well forget it all again
[00:50.25] Monuments put from pen to paper
[00:53.26] Turns me into a gutless wonder
[00:58.54] And if you tolerate this
[01:02.86] Then your children will be next
[01:09.43] And if you tolerate this
[01:12.98] Then your children will be next
[01:16.41] Will be next
[01:17.29] Will be next
[01:18.29] Will be next
[01:22.40]
[01:32.15] Gravity keeps my head down
[01:36.12] Or is it maybe shame
[01:40.48] At being so young and being so vain
[01:51.90] Holes in your head today
[01:55.52] But Im a pacifist
[02:00.58] Ive walked la ramblas
[02:02.95] But not with real intent
[02:08.35] And if you tolerate this
[02:13.00] Then your children will be next
[02:19.81] And if you tolerate this
[02:22.99] Then your children will be next
[02:26.24] Will be next
[02:27.18] Will be next
[02:28.36] Will be next
[02:31.11]
[02:34.98] Will be next
[02:50.81] And on the street tonight an old man plays
[02:55.69] With newspaper cuttings of his glory days
[03:08.73] And if you tolerate this
[03:13.29] Then your children will be next
[03:19.92] And if you tolerate this
[03:23.24] Then your children will be next
[03:26.69] Will be next
[03:27.38] Will be next
[03:28.52] Will be next
