(play intro once before each verse)

[Verse 1]
Am                        Em
The future teaches you to be alone
    F                        C
The present to be afraid and cold
   F                 
So if I can shoot rabbits
C                    G        
Then I can shoot fascists
Am                     Em
Bullets for your brain today
   F                     C
But we'll forget it all again
   F
Monuments put from pen to paper
 C                      G
Turns me into a gutless wonder

[Chorus]
           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                         G
Then your children will be next
           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                         G
Then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

[Interlude]
Am  Em  F  C  G

[Verse 2]
Am                    Em
Gravity keeps my head down
   F             C
Or is it maybe shame
   F
At being so young
 C            G
And being so vain
Am                   Em
Holes in your head today
   F           C
But I'm a pacifist
   F
I've walked La Rambas but
 C            G
Not with real intent

[Chorus]
           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                         G
Then your children will be next
           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                         G
Then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

[Verse 3]
F                 C
And on the streets tonight
           G
An old man plays
     Dm           Am
With newspaper cuttings
             G
Of his glory days

[Chorus]
           F
And if you tolerate this
C                          G
Then your children will be next
           Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am                         G
Then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next
