A Guerra Fria nas palavras de Sting

A música de Sting, "Russians" descreve o sentimento de histeria vivido durante a época da Guerra Fria, face ao perigo iminente de guerra global. Escuta a música e lê a letra.

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

Mister Krushchev said, "We will bury you"
I don't subscribe to his 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, "He will protect you"
I don't subscribe to his 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
