In Europe and in America
There's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets.
Mister Krushchev says, "We will bury you!".
I don't subscribe to this point of view.
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too.
How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on 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.
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore.
Mister Reagan says, "We will protect you".
I don't subscribe to this 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
But what might save us, me and you,
Is if the Russians love their children too.
