If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next

IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT 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... 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 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.. And on the street tonight an old man plays With newspaper cuttings of his glory days 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... | YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT Unexpected phone call and she's got something to say "Remember Mitchy's party? Well there's a baby on the way". Heart stops, head rocks, completely shocked, mouth as dry as sand Overdose of reality as the phone drops from my hand I never thought about the future, I never looked beyond today Never cared what was happening, never thought I'd have to pay For the hunger and oppression, displacement, terror and war All the problems that we shrugged off we inflict on the unborn If you tolerate this your children will be next, If you tolerate this your children will be next, If you tolerate this your children will be next... |
