Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Khrushchev said, "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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
And what might save us, me and you
Is that the Russians love their children too
Written by: Sergei Prokofiev, Sting
