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

É o primeiro single número um da banda no Reino Unido e permanece até hoje como um de apenas dois hits no topo da parada do país.
O Guinness World Records reconhece a faixa como o single número um com o título mais longo que não utiliza parênteses.
É a única música da banda que foi lançada como single nos Estados Unidos, onde se tornou um sucesso menor nas rádios de Modern Rock.
O nome e a letra são dedicados ao idealismo dos voluntários internacionais que lutaram contra os rebeldes militares de Franco durante a Guerra Civil Espanhola.
O título deriva de um cartaz republicano da época que mostrava a foto de uma criança morta por bombas nacionalistas com o aviso "Se você tolerar isso, seus filhos serão os próximos".
