Sting "Russians" Lyrics
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. 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.
there's a growing feeling of hysteria,
Conditioned to respond to all the threats,
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets,
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
We share the same biology,
Regardless of ideology,
What might save us, me, and you
Is if the Russians love their children too
Regardless of ideology,
What might save us, me, and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

Ini ialah lagu yang digubah oleh Gordon Matthew Thomas Summer atau dikenali sebagai "Sting" pada tahun 1985 untuk mengecam tindakan kerajaan Amerika Syarikat dan Soviet bertelagah sesama sendiri dalam perang dingin disebabkan oleh ideologi.
"Peganglah ideologi apa-apa pun, komunis atau kapitalis kita semua tetap manusia dan sifat manusia itu ialah mereka menyayangi anak-anak mereka. Sekiranya kita menyayangi anak-anak , maka marilah kita mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya tindakan provokasi peperangan yang dilakukan oleh kuasa-kuasa besar, tidak kiralah Amerika Syarikat atau Soviet atau sekarang Republik Russia." - ini ialah mesej tersirat sebalik makna lagu ini.
