John Cale
So Afraid of The Russians
I'd like to feed the children
Find a cure for disease
Rebuild cities
And plant a lot of trees

I'd like to help the sick
Build factories
Give money to students
Hospitals and galleries

But...

I'm afraid of the Russians
I can't sleep at night
So afraid of the Russians
Afraid we've got to fight

I'd like to go to space
Clean up rivers and lakes
Put everyone to work
Whatever it takes

But...

I'm afraid of the Russians
I can't sleep at night
So afraid of the Russians
Afraid we've got to fight
They've got ships at sea
They've got missles in the air
Tanks on the border of Europe
And spies everywhere

I'd like to feed the children
Find a cure for disease
Rebuild the cities
And plant a lot of trees

But...

I'm afraid of the Russians
I can't sleep at night
So afraid of the Russians
Afraid we've got to fight

They've got ships at sea
They've got missles in the air
Tanks on the border of Europe
And spies everywhere
Spies everywhere
Spies everywhere
Spies everywhere (continues under telephone call)

[Telephone call]
Operator: Good afternoon. Cambridge Storage here. Can I help you please?
Caller: Yes, please. I'd like to leave a message for your bookkeeper
Operator: Ah, yes
Caller: The streets are sinking and wheels burning
Operator: Thank you!
Spies everywhere

I'd like to go to space
Clean up rivers and lakes
Put everyone to work
Whatever it takes

But I'm afraid of the Russians
I can't sleep at night
So afraid of the Russians
Afraid we've got to fight

They've got ships at sea
They've got missles in the air
Tanks on the border of Europe
And spies everywhere
Spies everywhere
Spies everywhere
Spies everywhere
Spies everywhere (continues under second telephone call)

[Telephone call: Russian and then German?]
