Failures(of the modern man) Joy Division
Lyrics
Don't speak of safe messiahs - a failure of the modern man
To the centre of our life's desires - as a whole not an also ran
Love in a hollow field - break the image of your father's son
Drawn to an inner feel - he was thought of as the only one
He was thought of as the only one
He no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern man
Wise words and sympathy - tell the story of our history
New strength gives a real touch - sense and reason make it all too much
With a strange fatality - broke the spirits of a lesser man
Some other race could see - in his way he was the only one
In his way he was the only one
He no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern man
Now that it's right to decide - in his time he was a total man
Taken from Caesar's side - kept in silence just to prove who's wrong
He no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern man
All the failures of the modern man
To the centre of our life's desires - as a whole not an also ran
Love in a hollow field - break the image of your father's son
Drawn to an inner feel - he was thought of as the only one
He was thought of as the only one
He no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern man
Wise words and sympathy - tell the story of our history
New strength gives a real touch - sense and reason make it all too much
With a strange fatality - broke the spirits of a lesser man
Some other race could see - in his way he was the only one
In his way he was the only one
He no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern man
Now that it's right to decide - in his time he was a total man
Taken from Caesar's side - kept in silence just to prove who's wrong
He no longer denies - all the failures of the modern man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides - sees the failures of the modern man
All the failures of the modern man
