TITLE: Russians
Lyrics and Chords


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

/ Am Am7 F G / Dm Em7 F6 E7 / 1st / E7 Am Dm E /

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

/ C - E7 - / Am - E7 - / Am Am7 F G / Dm G Am E /

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

... / Dm Em7 F6 G Am Fmaj7 Am Em7 Am Fmaj7 Am Em7 /

There is no historical precedent
To put 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

... / Dm G Am E /

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

... / Dm Em7 F6 G Am Fmaj7 Am Em7 Am Fmaj7 Am Em7 /
