A5     A5 F5
In Europe and America
          D5                 E5   E5
there's a growing feeling of histeria.
   A5              A5    F5
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
           D5                      E5 E5
in the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets.
    C5                      E5  E5
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you,
  A5                      E5     E5
I don't subscribe to this point of view.
            A5      A5     F5
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
       D5       E5                  A5
if the Russians love their children too.

    A5    G5       F5    E5
How can I save my little boy
     A5   G5        F5    E5
from Oppenheimer's deadly toy.
      A5      G5         F5    E5
There is no monopoly of common sense
   A5     G5             F5     E5
on either side of the political fence.
   A5        G5      F5  E5
We share the same biology,
  A5          G5  F5 E5
regardless of ideology.
  A5       G5      F5    E5
Believe me when I say to you,
  A5       G5        F5        E5       A5
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 Russian love their children too.

We share the same biology, regardless of ideology.
What might save us me and you,
is that the Russians love their children too.
