In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the myths
In the campaign debates of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, "We will bury you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such a stupid thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's mortal toy?
There is no anarchy on common sense
On either side of the iron curtain
We share the same biology, regardless of geography
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical example
To put the words in the throat 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 defend 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
