Arcade Fire - Lenin lyrics

When Lenin was little
All the birds in the forest were
Singing "man this is it" now that he's older
All the sailors in heaven
Are singing '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
Looking down at the leaves
Falling off the tree

I know it can't be right
I know it can't be right
But, I just smile instead
Of repeating what I said



Daddy daddy, please, spare the world
From the government
Daddy daddy, please, spare my soul
From my own judgment
Daddy daddy, please, send me a heart
That isn't made of cement
Cause the money's all been spent

Daddy daddy, please, spare the world
From the government
Daddy daddy, please, spare my soul
From my judgment
Daddy daddy, please, send me a heart
That is made of cement
Cause the money's all been spent
The money's all been spent
The money's all been spent
The money's all been spent
