THE ARCADE FIRE - WHEN LENIN WAS LITTLE lyrics

rate me

When Lenin was little

All the birds in the forest were singin' “Man, this is it!”

But now that he's older

All the sailors in the heaver are screamin' “Abandon Ship!”

I know it can't be right

I know it can't be right

But I just smile instead

of repeating what I said

In my head

When Lenin was little

dressed up like a vampire on All-Hallow's Eve

All the saints up in heaven

Were look down at the leaves fallin' from the trees

I know it can't be right

Daddy, Daddy, please save the world from the government

Daddy, Daddy, please save my soul from my own judgement

Daddy, Daddy, please send me a heart that isn't made of cement

'cause the money's all been spent
