Billy Bragg Think Again (Live)
Do you think that the Russians want war?
These are the parents of children who died in the last one
Do you think that it's possible knowing their past
That they'd ever considered repeating the past
When twenty million were slaughtered by NAZI invasion
They died fighting on our side you know
In a fight to defend human kind against NAZI terror and hatred
In the name of humanity bitter and torn
In the name of our children as yet to be born
Before we do that which can never be undone
I beg of you
Think, think again
And again and again and again and again
Do you think that the Russians want war?
These are the sons and the daughters of parents who died in the last one
Do you think that they want to go through that again?
The destruction, the bloodshed, the suffering and pain
In the second world war, out of every three dead, one was Russian
If we try with all of our power
Can we not find a way to peacefully settle our difference
In the name of humanity bitter and torn
In the name of our children as yet to be born
Before we do that which can never be undone
I beg of you
Think, think again
And again and again and again and again
Do you think that the Russians want war?
Will the voice of insanity lead you to total destruction?
Will you stumble to death as though you were blind?
Will you cause the destruction of all human kind?
Will you die because you don't like their political system?
There will be no survivors you know
No one left to scream in the night and condemn our stupidity
In the name of humanity bitter and torn
In the name of our children as yet to be born
Before we do that which can never be undone
I beg of you
Think, think again
And again and again and again and again
