A Naturally Cold War [German translation]

The same sun shines in Washington

That shines on Moscow

The rain that beats the streets

Beats the same on each

Snow here, snow there

No peace anywhere

Clouds float by

The starving children die

The trees drop their leaves

The governments still thrive

Blue water flows

War crawls on the street

People live for a while

Winds blow chilly by

Where's a compassionate smile

Green grass all about

Fear topples all hope

Birds sing on crisp days

No one hears, they shudder

Dogs bark and howl

Their blackening fear creeps

The golden moon rises high

Still for peace we cry
