    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.

      ​@@Tombro1856this song was about the Welsh international brigades helping the Republicans fight Francos Nationalists (fascist). Lots went for ideology, others disgusted by the indiscriminate carpet bombing of Guernica (Nazis testing tactics ready for the northern European war). The beauty of this song is that the shitty realities of life will always make it relevant

    The meaning of this song lies in a man deep in contemplation about the state of the world. He is about to undertake a huge decision that may change the course of mankind. He is reluctant to act but knows if he does not our children’s generation will suffer. He repeats the slogan a number if times tolerating this would mean his children would be forced to fight that battles of yesterday. He knows he is a pacifist but struggles with breaking his pacifist beliefs for the sake of change. In the end as an old man he thinks back about his past and how it has all been a fight for nothing…with nothing left to hold on to except his glory days.

      Definitely and it just gets better. I also love their acoustic version's which i think are better. There some versions with the 3 Manic's on acoustics and some with just James Dean Bradfield on an acoustic, stripped right down to the most basics, an acoustic guitar and a vocal, which James really gets himself into the song and you see and hear how much it means to him, he's singing his soul out.

      @Maria Lindell i dont know the answer to your first question as i cant speak for other people and why they do or do not do cirtain things, i can only guess people know something needs to be done but they dont know what. but thats how change starts, you dont have to know the solution to realise there is a problem.
      to your 2nd question i guess the answer is similar, people just sense that something isnt right with the world and the direction its going. its hard to put youre finger on things sometimes but something just feels of, ill draw an analogy to a situation such as a partener cheating on you but you have no proof or some person you meat that just seems creepy but you cant explain why.
      as for the last question, i didnt. it was a general observation about people that wasnt directed at you personally and im not sure why you thought it was.

      @@redplague Because the song is written about the Spanish Civil War it in no way prevents the lyrics hitting home with other things. Also intrinsically most problems throughout history are repeating cycles, and as such anything about one thing instantly applies to many others. Also get this, art is what you make of it always will be, and if you think anything ever made can only be what it's creator specifically made it to be. Then your attempt to sound clever and perceived sense of superiority; because you believe you have a correct answer against wrong ones. Only shows you to be stupid and very limited in your ability to critically think.

      @@redplague No it really hasn't that's some A grade twisting to try change a stance, worst of all it makes absolutely no sense. Not only is it a sentiment that isn't conveyed by the short sentence you wrote, but given the song at no point makes a direct reference and the fact that metaphor is such a heavy part of most modern imagery. It absolutely can make more sense now. Most importantly it's still an artistic production, as such is an entirely subjective experience. If the message, feeling or take away someone gets from it feels more real, or like it makes more sense than ever before, then that's an entirely correct fact for them.

    Apparently this song is about the Spanish Civil War I read in a BBC interview with Nicky Wire. I had no idea - I'm 40 and my 96 grandmother who's still very much with us was evacuated from the Basque region of Spain in the 1930s. World War II then intervened and she remained in the UK - moving to Wales with my Welsh grandfather in the early 70s and settling in the Vale of Glamorgan.

      To add to the history observations: the song's title comes from a slogan of real republican propaganda poster from the Spanish Civil War and the line "If I can shoot rabbits, I can shoot fascists" is a quote from the book "Miners Against Fascism" by Hywel Francis. I love songs inspired by real history and the message is still so relevant.

    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
    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 next

      And the percentage of immigrants working in the NHS is greater than the percentage of UK natives working in it. Again, contribuiting more.

    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 next

    Chile, October 2019. We said enough is enough and we are fighting neoliberalism, healthcare, education, water, electricity, roads, and everything you can think of is privatised. Our salaries are very low, and our pension system is so bad people have to continue working after they retire. We are protesting in the streets but we are only getting tear gas bombs, bullets and violence from the police and the army, we need help, I always listened to this song and I was so sad because in my country we were all blind and deaf, indifferent to our own people's pain. Now I am more positive, at least we are all united fighting.
