When Lenin was little
All the birds in the forest were singing, "Man, this is it!"
But now that he's older
All the sailors in the heaven are screaming, "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 looking down at the leaves falling 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 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
Because the money's all been spent
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
Because the money's all been spent
Because the money's all been spent
Because the money's all been spent
Because the money's all been spent
