words and Music by Arlo Guthrie



Too many women growing up wrong

Get an education thinking thoughts on their own

Making decisions telling men what to do

Look at the trouble that we're all going through

Russian girls could save the world



Here in America land of the free

Used to mean something to you and to me

You can't tell women what they really are for

Well then you ain't really free anymore

Russian girls could save the world



Meanwhile back in the U.S.S.R.

They're making women change tires on cars

Working in factories and incredible as it seems

They make them study gymnastics

And you know what that means!

Russian girls could save the world
