Verse 1:
Am Em F C
The future teaches you to be alone, the present to be afraid and cold
F C G
so if I can shoot rabbits, then I can shoot fascists
Am Em F C
Bullets fry our brain today, but we`ll forget it all again
F C G
Monuments put from pen to paper turns me into a gutless wonder

Chorus:
Dm Am G
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
Dm Am G
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next

will be next, will be next, will be next



Verse 2:
Am Em F C
The gravity keeps my head down, or is it maybe shame
F C G
of being so young and being so vain
Am Em F C
Holes in your head today, but I`m a pacifist
F C G
I`ve walked la Ramblas, but not with real intent

Chorus:
Dm Am G
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
Dm Am G
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next

will be next, will be next, will be next
