"Lenin" lyrics - ARCADE FIRE

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 Heaven 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
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 own judgment

Daddy, Daddy, please send me a heart
That isn't 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
