#Russians – Sting
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Europe [Am7/G]and America
there’s a growing feeling of [E/G#]histeria.
Conditioned to resp[Am/G]ond to all the threats
in the rhetorical speeches of the S[E/G#]oviets.
Mr. Krushchev said we will [E/G#]bury you,
I don’t subscribe to this [E/G#]point of view.
It would be such an [Am/G]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
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 Russian love their children too.
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology.
What might save us me and you,
is that the Russians love their children too.

#If You Love Somebody Set Them FreeSTING
#
#Dm (000765)
#C (000553)
#
#Dm C Am G
#If you need somebody, call my name
#If you want someone, you can do the same
#If you want to keep something precious
#You got to lock it up and throw away the key
#If you want to hold onto your possession
#Don’t even think about me
#
#(Chorus)
[Bm7-Bm]If you love somebody
[G7-G]If you love someone
[Bm7-Bm]If you love somebody
[G7-G]If you love someone
Dm C Am G
set them free
If it’s a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can’t see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That’s all some people ever want to be
(Chorus)
(bridge)
You can’t control an independent heart
Can’t tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we can’t live

We can’t live here and be happy with less
So many riches, so many souls
Everything we see we want to possess
Dm C Am G
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don’t even think about me
(Chorus)
