Intro Am , Em , F, C, G x2  (play intro once before each verse)

A5                        E5
The future teaches you to be alone
    F5                        C5
The present to be afraid and cold
   F5                 
So if I can shoot rabbits
C5                    G5        
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

           D5
And if you tolerate this
A5                         G5
Then your children will be next
           D5
And if you tolerate this
A5                         G5
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 La Rambas 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

Guitar Solo  D5 , A5 , G5 , G5 x2

D5                 A5
And on the streets tonight
           G5
An old man prays
     D5           A5
With newspaper cuttings
             G5
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, will be next, will be next
