A Portrait of V. I. Lenin in the
Style of Jackson Pollock (Part II) (4'49)

It was in nineteen-seventeen
That Russia's Revolution was led by Lenin.
Lenin led the Revolution.
If history had a problem,
He'd got the real solution.
Lenin created Soviets
Out of war, chaos and confusion.
The Revolution shook the world
Ten days to its conclusion.

The Revolution shook the world,
It lasted for ten days.
It wouldn't shake without him,
There were no other ways.
(When) it didn't shake enough for him
He hoped it was a 'phase'.
There were some contradictions –
But perseverance pays.

Lenin is the leader of
The whole world's working class.
He explained aIl history to
The stormy thundering mass.
At midnight in his tomb he lays,
His face against the glass.
Lenin: "if you think culture's revolution,
Stick it up your arse.''
