[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][F][C][G]
[Am][Em][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]The future teaches you to be a[Em]lone
The [F]present to be afraid and [C]cold
"So [F]if I can shoot rabbits
[C]then I can shoot fas[G]cists"

[Verse 2]
[Am]Bullets for your brain[Em] today
But [F]we'll forget it all a[C]gain
Monuments [F]put from pen to paper
[C]Turns me into a gutless [G]wonder

[Chorus 1]
And if you [Dm]tolerate this
[Am]then your children will be [G]next
And if you [Dm]tolerate this
[Am]then your children will be [G]next
Will be next, will be next, will be next
[Am][Em][F][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Gravity keeps my h[Em]ead down
[F]Or is it maybe [C]shame
At [F]being so young [C]and being so [G]vain

[Verse 4]
[Am]Holes in your head[Em] today
But [F]I'm a paci[C]fist
I've [F]walked La Ramblas
[C]but not with real in[G]tent

[Chorus 2]
And if you [Dm]tolerate this
[Am]then your children will be [G]next
And if you [Dm]tolerate this
[Am]then your children will be [G]next

[Solo 1]
Will be next, will be next, will be next
[F]Wil[C]l be next[G][G]
[Dm][Am][G][G]

[Bridge 1]
And [F]on the street to[C]night
An old man [G]plays with [Dm]newspaper [Am]cuttings
of his glory [G]days

[Chorus 3]
And if you [F]tolerate this
[C]then your children will be [G]next
And if you [Dm]tolerate this
[Am]then your children will be [G]next

Will be next, will be next, will be next
