Russians - Sting, Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, Steven Mercurio

In Europe and America

There’s a growing feeling of hysteria

Conditioned to respond to all the threat

In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets

Mister Krushchev said, «We will bury you»

I don’t subscribe to this point of view

It’d 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

Mister 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
