Lenin's Lullaby

Run now child, don't you stop
you have to find a place to hide
Run like fire, dont look back
you know they've turned your skies from blue to black

Workers' tale has come and gone
Red flags turned to dollar bills
Against the wall, he stands alone
October dreams are now his only home

Hush now child, don't you cry
some say the tale is not over yet
as long as someone is there to say,
remember barricades,
remember barricades,
Paris in May in 1968,
some other day...Moscow in May
 

Adrián Boutureira-1993
