If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next - David Usher

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

Yes 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 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

Yes if you tolerate this

Then your children will be next, will be next
