    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.

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.

      @@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.

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.

    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

    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.
