\begin{verse}
In \[Am]Europe \[G]and A\[F]meri\[E7]ca
There's a \[Am]growing \[G]feeling of hys\[F]teri\[E7]a
Con\[Am]ditioned to res\[G]pond to \[F]all the \[E7]threats
In the \[Am]rhetorical \[G]speeches of \[F]the So\[E7]viets
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
Mr. \[C]Khrushchev said, ``We will \[E7]bury you''
I \[Am]don't subscribe to this \[E7]point of view
It would be \[Am]such an \[G]ignorant \[F]thing to \[E7]do
If the \[Am]Russians love \[E7]their children \[Am]too
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
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
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you:
``I hope the Russians love their children too''
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
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
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
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''
\end{chorus}
\begin{chorus}
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is that the Russians love their children too
\end{chorus}
