In Europe and in America
there's a growing feeling of hysteria;
conditioned to respond to all the threats
in the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets.

Mr. Kruschev says "we will bury you";
I don't subscribe to that point of view,
it would 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 in 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 won't believe anymore.

Mr. Reagan says "we will protect you";
I don't subscribe to that point of view.
Believe 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.


Para Empar Marqués: por sus inflamadas diatribas en clase, por los buenos momentos estudiando la guerra fría y porque, quiera o no quiera, sigue siendo la Gran Señora de la Historia. Empar, you rock!
