Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This (Your Children Will Be Next) (1998)

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

Sounds important. But, what does "This" refer to? It's too ambiguous. Without being more specific, it sounds like they're promoting being rebels without a cause. Disagree? I'm ready to back it up.

For starters, "Survival Of The Fittest" (which was/is widely promoted and accepted) by itself suggests/implies that there is intrinsically a present threat that justifies being afraid of and cold towards. Therefore, that would be the starting point without actually verifying if there really is a threat or not. Then, by definition, there can only be just one "fittest" left standing and alone. This mentality was a "monument" put to paper, that the lyrics of this song seems to be another "monument" put to paper to address. Now, which of these two "monuments" actually results in turning one into a gutless wonder? If it's true that "Monuments put from pen to paper Turns me into a gutless wonder", then why are you/them trying to do the same thing?

Bullets for your brain today, But we'll forget it all again? May that's because bullets are not the answer, but wisdom instead is. Don't confuse rejection with forgetting.

Hello. As you know, art (in any form) is subjective. Only the artist knows the answer/true meaning of why they wrote a song, how, and for what reason.

'As reported on MTV.com on July 10, 1998:

Bassist Nicky Wire told Britain’s “New Musical Express” that he wrote the song about the Spanish Civil War and that it pays homage to the Clash’s “Spanish Bombs.” Wire says on the band’s official website that it’s also about standing up to evil, a common MSP theme.'

To follow is the band's explanation of the song...

Backyard Tunes, Spotify Playlist I made

(I had long forgotten about it til yesterday)

Made this in 2018 for a family party at which

my son proposed to his long time GF. It turned

out to be our last party as John died just 24

days later. These were songs we both loved

and were great party songs. Everything on

there from the Beatles to ZZ Top. There are

even 2 songs on there I chose to have played

at his funeral. Such a mixture of good and bad memories on there. I try to focus on the good

🎼💜
