Am Em
The future teaches you to be alone
F C /B
The present to be afraid and cold
F
So if I can shoot rabbits
C G G
Then I can shoot fascists
Am Em
Bullets for your brain today
F C /B
But we'll forget it all again
F
Monuments put from pen to paper
C G (Gsus4)
Turns me into a gutless wonder
Chorus:
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G Gsus4
Then your children will be next
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
Then your children will be next
G
Will be next, will be next, will be next
Am | Em | F | C / B
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
Chorus:
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
Guitar Solo: F | C | G | G(sus4)
Dm | Am | G | G(sus4)
F C
And on the streets tonight
G G(sus4)
An old man prays
Dm Am
With newspaper cuttings
G G(sus4)
Of his glory days
Chorus* :
F
And if you tolerate this
C G G(sus4)
Then your children will be next
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
Then your children will be next
G
Will be next, will be next, will be next
F C G G(sus4)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Dm Am G G(sus4)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
F C G G(sus4)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Dm Am G G(sus4)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
F C G
