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
|
