leaders of men

Singer:joy division

born from some mother's womb

just like any other room. made a promise for a new life. made a victim out of your life. when your time's on the door

and it drips to the floor

and you feel you can touch

all the noise is too much

and the seeds that are sown

are no longer your own. just a minor operation

to force a final ultimatum. thousand words are spoken loud

reach the dumb to fool the crowd. when you walk down the street

and the sound's not so sweet

and you wish you could hide

maybe go for a ride

to some peep show arcade

where the future's not made. a nightmare situation

infiltrate imagination

smacks of past holy wars

by the wall with broken laws. the leaders of men

born out of your frustration. the leaders of men

just a strange infatuation. the leaders of men

made a promise for a new life. no saviour for our sakes

to twist the internees of hate

self induced manipulation

to crush all thoughts of mass salvation.
