Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next



Lyrics

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, 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, will be next, yeah 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, will be next, will be nexthttps://www.lyricfind.com/

Oh, Peter Green has died as well. It's come to that point where so many of my musical heroes are reaching the dying years. Those people who were innovators in the 60's are now over 70 themselves.

Peter Green was a liquid smooth guitar player in the blues tradition. One of the finest British players. He suffered from schizophrenia too, apparently triggered by too many LSD trips in the 60's. I hope he's found peace in the great beyond now.
