Easterhouse – Lenin in Zurich Lyrics
Artist: Easterhouse
Song: Lenin in Zurich
The Things you can Do
Comes from the way that you do things
Those who are sure that they are right
Won’t be afraid to fight
And the fight for ideas
Is the hardest of all
For by what you are known for
You will stand or you will fall
It’s never an easy thing
To strike out on your Own
No man for the love of man
Ever took their long and lonely need
The prize is the principle
Their will, their authority
For all men of destiny
Their judge will be History
What could drive a man on this hard and bitter track?
Love could not survive
Love could not keep coming back
But Hatred Never Dies
Love can die but Hatred only sleeps
And bides it’s time
It warms the heart that waits in exile
After how many places?
After how many years?
The twists and the turns of fate
Had stranded him here
In the city of Zurich
So content and Confident
They just carry on
While Europe burns and the great wheel turns
In this Lonely Place
You could sink without a trace
Just another face
In a crowd of faceless people
Such a lonely man
Difficult to get along with
All the hours that he spends
Sitting in the Dark Library
Endless arguments
And the endless separations
There’s no other way
You must fight until you get it right
When the fight for survival
Is the fight for a principle
If the principle dies
You don’t have a chance
