Con todo lo que está pasando últimamente en Valencia, no hay una canción que no resuene más en mi cabeza que ésta de los Manics. La escuché allí por el 2001 de manos de alguien cercano, cuando nos dirigíamos al centro de Barcelona para apoyar la manifestación anti-globalización, y a pesar de tenerla en mi repertorio todo este tiempo la he escuchado bien poco hasta hace pocos días.
Os dejo el video, el audio en buena calidad, y la letra. Si alguien hiciera un montaje con las imagenes y videos de Valencia, creo que clavaría directarmente en el corazón de muchos.
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 Las 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
