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.
This should be the anthem for 2024 UK
Why?
@@katemara667 Because it's a sentiment against fascists & communists ... OK it's specifically about the Spanish Civil War and about Franco in particular .... but hey Commie or Fascist ... all the same to me ... red or black you're better off dead and rolled in to a ditch by moonlight.
@@katemara667if they lock you up for having different opinions than the establishment then you've lost all your freedom.
This is an antifacist song, hope it helps
This IS my anthem for 2024. I fear what Two Tier Stalin has in store for my family. Very disturbing time in our history.
2024! This is still one of the best songs to ever be heard!
?? Hope you are familiar with the Spanish civil war because if you are not then don't comment.
@@Tombro1856wwwwwwhat??????
@@Tombro1856 correct
@@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
@@chrissaunders4702 Thank you for your comment. As geopolitics is my preferred subject even though thousand of Irishmen fought on the Republican side doesn't exempt the loss of over 37,000 mainly innocent Women and Children by a hot headed lunatic sitting in an underground bunker crying about an existernal threat.May he rot in hell.End of subject.
If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will be Next, the best lyric ever written, and more relevant now than ever before.
it comes from a recruitment poster in the 1930's. Encouraging people to enlist in the International Brigade of the democratically elected republicans during the Spanish civil war, to fight against the fascist army of Franco.
@philldavies7940 yk what annoys me about this song is that people change the meaning of it. its about the Spanish civil war not how lgbt people are gonna groom your children or covid 💀
@manic_street_starlover they are gonna groom your children though
Could still be very applicable there though, we can see people losing their mind everywhere, cutting of body parts. And sadly, our children are alos falling prey to the suicide cult that is lgbtqq@@manic_street_starlover
@@manic_street_starlover I needs a re-release
I haven't listened to this song in years. Now having two children, it hits hard!

I agree imagine how amazing 😍 life would be if we all stood together as one .
@@bb1518 Some of us have tried that approach before. United as one. Guess what. Others came united as one too. And I swear to you, it was a total mess. Supposing one day all humanity would be united as one, only to find out aliens were coming... life is diverse. We might have all the same source, but time and space separates us into different paths. Sometimes opposing paths.
The scumbags are already attacking children with psychological manipulation. We're all under attack.
@@hugosantos1476 I doubt the aliens are anywhere. This is an enclosed place we live in with the stars always in the same place on the same day every year at the same time. If you are on earth spinning through the universe how is that possible?
@@bobduff80 yes, I agree. We are all alone in this bubble we call Earth. We will never escape. Aliens are science fiction.
This should be number 1 in the UK write now what a timeless classic more relevant than ever. BRITS WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE
Not just Brits alas... as for being too late, we are rounding that corner now. But what can we do?
Fight
You got it right but there's no need to fight as long the bright prime minister makes sure everithing is under control, our children will be safe 😊
( see you on the next one)
@@jeco1057if you're relying on politicians then you're very naive
Listening to this in 2023 and it's still spot on... Sad world we now live in... Glad I'm not a child growing up in this generation.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Yes ....so much simpler growing up in the 70s / 80s 😮
Couldn't agree more 😢
💯 ❤
then we must all do something about it now and forever more :)
"If you tolerate this,then your children will be next." First thing that came into my head few weeks ago.
Now here is a track we need to get back to the top of the charts right now.
Then fight back.
Create your own media outlets and call out the corruption of your political leaders.
Dont just complain and go back to sleep or your jobs... Do something about it.
Globalism leading us into this New World Order, steaming ahead.... We MUST stand up, stand against this. FORGET about party lines, it's a game, a distraction to keep us divided.
very timely
Yepp ,but what to think about, Fight for your right to party/Beasty boys
Yep exactly just realised how relevant this is against the New World Order
This song helped me leave an abusive relationship. My children would have been next. But weren’t. They had a peaceful home 🙏🏻❤️Thank you Manics ❤
I saw these in Brighton 2003 I think it was with the ex wife, she is an ex as she tried to stab me.
Well done for getting out.

@@paulfoskett1519 Glad you made it mate
So happy you're free❤
Written for today, yesterday, and tomorrow
This is a timeless song that's as relevant today as it was the day it was released.
maybe even more so
And who would have thought it was mainly our favourite actors, musicians and even royalty that are into this.
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.
@@paulfoskett1519 hunting parties.
@@paulfoskett1519 I don’t believe this band is, I think this was trying to warn us through Lyrics.
When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
Well put ✊👏👏👏👏🏴
I WILL HONER THAT COMMITMENT!
IF WE TOLERATE THIS THEN THE CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT
RISE AGAINST YOUR LIVES WILL SOON DEPEND ON IT!.....
ying and yang?
this is a song
Indeed ^^
Listening to this in Ireland in 2024 and my God does this resonate so much with what's going on. You lads were ahead of your time absolutely timeless song. ✌&💚
Couldn't agree more

Democracy is a threat to your freedom.
I think they were prophets, warning through the medium of music
Im 47 and im from German. One of the Best Songs of all Times .
How many people are listening to this today (02/08/2024) and thinking of what has happened this last week.
How did the MSP know?? 😢
I don't think it was especially prescient of the MSP to write a song condemning 1930s racist fascism 6 decades after the fact 😂
Not me, cos it means LITERALLY the opposite of what you think it means.
This song is about Welsh volunteers who fought fascists during the Spanish civil war. It has nothing to do with recent events.
@@katemara667 All the more realavant!
It was always happening, my friend. I'm now 65. I remember the Manics copped flak for being the first band to play in Cuba. I didn't see too many people come to their defense. Do you know that Fidel Castro actually met them, shook their hands, that's how important Fidel thought they were. But we think the 'good' guys are the good guys, when in reality they are the bad guys. All the best.
GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN
Amen. God bless you and your family to x
The spirit and unity of people will always be more powerful than any government.
Uts such a shame that we are not ALL united then xx

This song has always given me goosebumps. Remember "Libraries gave us power" Read about the Spanish civil war and the rise of fascism across Europe in the 1930's then compare it to what is happening now. Scary.

How I wish it wasn't, and we could simply enjoy it as a great piece of music. :(
@Daniel Spaniel not everything is about Brexit, there's much bigger things in the picture which have been routinely ignored under the Tories, such as poverty and the NHS. Brexit is nothing compared to life and death situations affecting millions everyday like the ones I've just mentioned.
@Daniel Spaniel, bullcrap. The biggest strain on the NHS is outsourcing, agencies charging hospitals £1500 for one nurse for a single night. Doesn't matter how much it's being funded when its money is being squandered like that.
@Daniel Spaniel Oh, really? And where do you get this information?
Certainly not Oxford Economics.
www.oxfordeconomics.com/recent-releases/8747673d-3b26-439b-9693-0e250df6dbba
On average, immigrants each contribute £2,300 MORE to the UK economy every year than natives. So it's quite the opposite of what you seem to believe.
And the percentage of immigrants working in the NHS is greater than the percentage of UK natives working in it. Again, contribuiting more.
www.health.org.uk/news-and-comment/blogs/immigration-and-the-nhs-the-evidence
But sure, carry on believing the blatant lies and misinformation pumped out from 4 Matthew Parker Street.
21 years later the world has less poverty, less wars and people live longer... contrary to popular belief, things are actually better
Artists are a gift we should listen to more
Man does the UK have some musical talent. 🇬🇧
**had.. it's all gone now..our distinct culture and identity has been eroded by these treacherous elites allowing in millions of foreigners, making us a minority in our own cities and soon to be whole country. They've destroyed our distinct unique identity.
Yes a lot , the list of great british bands is enormous.

This song makes more sense today than it ever has 😢
Only to someone who doesn't know what the song is about.
sadly so
@@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.
@@EddThe19th You have have completely failed to understand how my reply relates to the original comment. I'll repeat it for you Mr Critical Thinker. "This song makes more sense today than it ever has". I never said it couldn't be reinterpreted for a different time. I was doubting how it makes more sense now than what it was actually written about with a mind that maybe only those who didn't understand what the song was about would think that.
I'm afraid your own attempt to sound clever has utterly backfired. How embarrassing for you.
@@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.
Why is there no more great music and great bands. With educated,talented people making wonderful music like this anymore. Unlike the dribble of today.
One of the most underrated bands of all time!!!

Unfortunately there are a lot of deaf people out there.
Some of the songs of Manic Street Preachers have become somehow prophetic
Most works of literature are I feel and it deepens us all into an abyss. We will have to fight for our children. The mechanism is in place to destroy us but little known to them it will destroy them from within...
this one is based on a line from a Welsh farmer who went to spain to fight Franco. Orwell was there, and his experiences of the lies that grew when the extremists on either side had power helped form hi hatred for totalitarianism of all flavours
@@flowinsounds thanks for the feedback. Nowadays we are living in a divided society and we are encouraged to destroy the "enemy" not to try a real dialogue and forgiveness
They were written from the future, long ago.
@@thomasbomdhilI think you’re kinda missing the point of the song still. It’s a call to arms, not really a plea for peace. Specifically it’s literally an ode to killing fascists lol
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
Like, to bump up to the top!
Thank you.

As my uncle used to tell me history repeats itself it has to cause no one ever listened
My question is, how much more are you willing to take? Everyday we're loosing our freedom to live. Until its seen as a collective problem, there will never be a collective response. We have come to a pivotal moment in time where we need to realise our true power. Evil can only triumph when good men do nothing. Much love.

I left the Army after 23 years and was introduced to the MSP through a mutual friend in London. I was hired to keep two members of the band "safe". And here we have a proper "band".

MSP knew this because certain people have always been aware of how things really work. It's only just come to the surface, so more can see.
Just chills. Eerie listening to this now.
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.
well that must be true if the bbc did a interview - NOT

@@johannes4155that’s fine by me - a liberating mindset. Vielen dank!
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.

At the end the spanish pamphlet:""If you tolerate this your children will be next"", that it was distributed in all the European countries against fascism, came true.

beginning to think this is the best song ever written. I listened to this as a teenager now 20+ years later as a father of 2 its scarily poignant
👍👍😔
It is certainly the most poignant and enduring song of its era. And I don't even own any Manics records.
We need music like this that questions things instead of just accepting shit more than everv .
I'm spanish. I'm crying. Thank you so much for this song, MSP
Hello bro I've just found ot my dad was Spanish
From Ciudad Real . He was . G of bless u Bro. X.
Keep up the good fight
Being Spanish means nothing. You should be thankful as a Socialist. Nothing more.
What a lot of people miss when they listen to this song and say how relevant it is to 2020 is that it was actually written about the Spanish Civil War.
Juan Antonio Moreno Why You Crying?
More relevant than ever
Let this be a lesson... protect our beautiful children so they can live in a free world
me and my dad used to listen to this in the car years ago when i was young, i totally forgot about it and wow, this brings back strong memories
The eyes only see what the mind is prepared to comprehend.
Good quote
@@paulrourke7442 , yes, specialy because our minds are zombie-like nowdays, without any real scholing or msm information.

ua-cam.com/video/6L5t7GbcpGg/v-deo.html absolutely 👍👍👍
Definately relevant to what's going off in 2024.
What’s going on in the current climate is the reason I’m here listening to this tune
Nothing happened karen, sea level is only rising when you dont live by the sea but by the TV
Every drop in the ocean counts. If one stands up, stand up beside them. BE THE ONE THAT STANDS UP. They’re playing us.
2021 And this is more relevant than ever in human history. Fight for the light. Do not give up.
I am afraid it will become more relevant the coming times , but as you say "do not give up " A very great and positive song.
Absolutely timeless this song it’s like I’m back in 1998 again
This song never goes old, its more relevant than ever. And it's still awesome.
The truth is heart breaking
yes
The most forward thinking ahead of their times band from the U.K. refusing to do baggy football Brit pop but making us think of our direction.
Thoughts for Richie
This song makes more sense every single day , month and year Thank You Manics
Never has this song been more prophetic. We tolerated. And now our children are next.
This should be an anthem against all that is happening in 2023 England.
You DO know this band are Welsh?
@@PeterGreen-t8cdoes it matter? The guys right! What a utterly destroyed Tory Britain we live in!
I have loved this song for most of my life, cannot begin to say how many times I've listened to it. A truly amazing and epic song. May it live on through the ages.
Sean Moore.................Great player. Texture, nuance, timing, fills. He makes it look effortless. Excellent
Such an apt song right now. Parents protect your children
...from politics

Protect them from the Spanish civil war?
This song is still beautifuly haunting and poignant decades later, goosebumps, a shiver down my spine and a tear to my eyes everytime. 😎👍👍😎🙏 jan 2022
This a very relevant song these days
Hello,the manic street this is my music from 1999 years......i love listening
Manics, for the love of all that is light and good in Cymu and the world, keep singing these truths- now more than ever✊🙏
Wales punches above its weight - god bless
this song is so close to home in this day and age
Grooming gangs,😬.
If only you knew 4 months ago.
This has never just been a song...!!
It's a warning, and the herd keep falling for the same old tricks. Again and again and..aga..
👏👏👏👏👏🎙
Lovely song! The lyrics are beautiful.
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.
I wish I could help i really do my hart and soul prays for you all . god bless . john
Well said. Viva la revolucion!
@GamorneiOne We have all been ruined in latin america by corruption, Peru is no different, I have met very nice peruvian people living in Chile working hard to make a living too so don't think it's karma, it's called CORRUPTION AND NEOLIBERALISM.
england ,the people that make this world tick need to stop being the ones that make it tick BUT how do we organise that world wide , each country will find its way to control us ,here in europe we are rich poor people compared to others , the rich are MEGA rich , but because we have games consoles , mobiles , krap tv ect people are brainwashed to beleive life is good ,but China wants what we have when many here see we need to have less how do we tell them they cant have what weve had , the world is a mess but i still have hope in human kind
Hi Paulina how are you , john
One of my favourite songs, and how fitting for what's going on now.
Mooie muziek, prachtige tekst zo herkenbaar voor mensen die wél geleerd hebben van geschiedenis.
Én het is de tune van blackbox tv in Nederland.
