As the song says, "if you tolerate this, then your children will be next!"

Can you imagine having 3 million $'s and what you would do with it?.

That is the cost of one missile, that is ironically named the "patriot missile"

Want proof? Okay. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/03/17/a-u-s-ally-fired-a-3-million-patriot-missile-at-a-200-drone-spoiler-the-missile-won/

Now back to the song.

The song is by a band, who's name should really be the rockets name (patriots), and the missile should be named the bands name. Manic street preachers. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_You_Tolerate_This_Your_Children_Will_Be_Next)

The 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, yeah 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"

I haven't heard that song for so long! In fact, so long ago, I don't think I ever really listened to the lyrics. The chorus was what rung a bell, so I got it up to listen to again.
