American Soviets (Original Mix 1) Songtext / Lyric

G: Good evening, this is Mr. Gorbachev-

R: Hello Gorby, this is the White House, Ronald Reagan speaking-

G: Hello, my old friend, how are you today ?

R: Fine ! It's time for our daily chess-match, are you ready ?

G: Yes, my last move yesterday was the Queen from A6 to B6-






They both send their weapons into space-

their people's problems they seem to displace-

the arms-race is what they can't negotiate-

why ain't it chess about what they debate ?



What went wrong on the Gulf of Iran ?

Why did the Russians invade Afghanistan ?

Why not save the money for the armaments

and be chess-partners in the turnament ?



Reagan and Gorbachev play chess on T.V.-

the senate is giving a party on the sea-

the nuclear war will forever be banned-

it's only their kings which they have to defend.
