When Lenin was little
All the birds in the forest were singin' “Man, this is it!â€
But now that he's older
All the sailors in the heaver are screamin' “Abandon Ship!â€
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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/arcade_fire/when_lenin_was_little.html ]
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
