Lenin

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Win Butler] 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' [Chorus: Régine Chassagne] 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 [Verse 2: Win Butler] 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 [Chorus: Régine Chassagne] I know it can't be right I know it can't be right But I just smile instead Of repeating what I said [Bridge: Régine Chassagne] 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 [Interlude] [Bridge: Régine Chassagne] 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
