Russians

 

Pacifist song lyrics

 

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

 

Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you

I don’t subscribe to this point of view

It would 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 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

There’s 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 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

What might save us, me, and you

Is if the Russians love their children too

…
