So trouble comes strolling through the door
But anything worth having's worth fighting for
Fiction or fact, you'll supply the plot
We'll both be featured, like it or not
Yes, I guess you think I'm stupid and brutal
I should confess that the feeling is mutual

It's not between the devil and the deep blue sea
Not between the truth and hypocrisy
Not between freedom and democracy
But between you, between you, between you and me
Between you, between you, between you and me
Between you

The stars and stripes meets the hammer and sickle
(Where the eagle meets the bear)
Not for honour but rubles and nickels
(The simple world was fair)
It ain't fisticuffs, it's a full scale war
(Have we forgotten what love's for?)
Your secret's no secret anymore
Yes, I guess you think I'm stupid and brutal
I should confess that the feeling is mutual

It's not between the devil and the deep blue sea
Not between the truth and hypocrisy
Not between freedom and democracy
But between you, between you, between you and me
Between you, between you, between you and me
Between you, between you
So trouble comes strolling through the door
