It was World War II that split 'em apart

Tensions between USSR and US start

Millions killed by US' delay of entry led to a stand off for the next half a' century

Two different nations that couldn't agree

Who comes out on top? That's what we're here to see.

We just strove to help our people and bring peace

We supported the spread of democracy

Bring an end to the evil empire Said Reagan, now that's what we desire

We want to beat you in this arms race

Keep communism from coming to the States

1949, you built your own bomb so we built an H-bomb, how is that wrong?

NSC (dash) 68 quadrupled the military's state

Now containment of communism is top priority

And the US will prove its authority

JFK promised a man on the moon

In 1969, his commitment came true

Why do you keep trying to surpass our success? This just proves our democratic progress.

Mr. Eisenhower, I think you've got it all wrong, the U2 incident shows we've been #1 all along.

We shot down your planes that were sent for spying Then we caught your beloved president for lying

While you were out there falling on your face

We sent Sputnik I and II into outer space

Speaking of which, you should probably just forfeit. We'll beat you at the space race, send you into orbit

Your h-bomb blew a hole in the ocean floor,

Why'd you think we wouldn't strike back with even more.

We had the largest peacetime buildup in history Why you thought you'd beat it still remains a mystery.

We invaded Vietnam, communism's the best

Tet offensive put your defense to the test

You thought the war wouldn't last too long But that all got ruined by the Viet Cong

It was World War II that split em apart Tensions between the USSR and US start

Millions killed by the US' delay of entry

Led to a stand off for the next half a' century

Now they're fighting in Korea and Vietnam Seeing which one of them can build more bombs

You violate basic human rights While we guarantee them in the Bill of Rights

Trying to spread communism like dominoes

That's an idea that we're trying to oppose.

Our economy's boomin', we're on a spending spree

While your comrades struggle to find food to eat

To oppose communism we formed NATO While your people sit in gulags, losing hope.

North Korean People's Army, remember that name?

You invaded South Korea, and that changed up the game.

Truman sent our troops to protect them But only cause democracy was threatened.

38th parallel, should have stayed behind it

Because if you hadn't invaded, we wouldn't've minded

Joseph Stalin, you started this war Cause we won't just let the commies take over the world

Detente or brinkmanship, make up your mind We have missiles in Cuba, you're lagging behind

Now you're threatening us if we bring reinforcements Trying to blow this thing way out of proportion

Kennedy, I think you've taken it too far We're just showing Castro how friendly we are

Yeah… we gave Cuba economic aid But then you had to go enforce a naval blockade

You got what you wanted for your nation

Took our weapons out of Cuba to diffuse the situation

And now you're making accusations Trying to destroy our satellite nations

Bay of Pigs, you thought the rebels would help You failed… you should be ashamed of yourselves

Communism will always win It was shown with the Vietnamese and Cubans

It was World War II that split em apart Tensions between the USSR and US start

Millions killed by the US' delay of entry Led to a stand off for the next half a' century

1991, the Cold War ends Reagan and Gorbachev are finally friends

SALT I and II end the nuclear debate

Bringing an end to the arms race

Now that Gorbachev's in charge, they're making reforms

Glasnost will help keep the people informed

Perestroika brings the economy towards capitalism Ending central planning and fascism

The Berlin Wall comes crashing down

Many freed from communism, too many to count

And, finally democracy's assured

Because the USSR is now the USS-were
