at the finland station

 we cannot grasp the current situation

our hands are not quite equal to the task

and comrade lenin's at the finland station

 

all sense has gone from leaders of the nation

while generals have all dived into flask

we cannot grasp the current situation

 

but know that it's no cause for celebration

as we have reached the bottom of the cask

and comrade lenin's at the finland station

 

we tried to impose rules of segregation

but found that there were things we could not ask

we cannot grasp the current situation

 

the masses do not give us admiration

while idle rulers on far beaches bask

and comrade lenin's at the finland station

 

we find there is no true accommodation

they've seen the monster face behind the mask

we cannot grasp the current situation

and comrade lenin's at the finland station
