Russians

In Europe and America
There's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
And the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Khrushchev said he would bury you
I don't subscribe to his point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians loved their children too

How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
And no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to his point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
And what might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too
