[Verse 1]
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
Mr. Khrushchev 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

[Verse 2]
How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's most deadly toy
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence

[Chorus 1]
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

[Verse 3]
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 Russians love their children too

[Chorus 2]
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too
