Failures - Joy Division

Don’t speak a false facade

Failure of modern man

To the centre of our face he dived

Has a hold on a nose of red

Grew up in a hall of steel

Made the image of your fathers son

Not to an inner feel

He was thought of as the only one

He no longer denies --

All the failures of the modern man

He no longer decides --

Sees the failures of the modern man

Wise words and sympathy

Tell the story of our history

New strength gives a real touch

Sense of reasons make it all too much

With a strange fatality

Fade the spirits of a lesser man

Some other race could see

In his way he was the only one

He no longer denied --

All the failures of the modern man

No, no his God decides --

See the failures of the modern man

Now that it’s right to decide

In his time he was the total man

Taken from Caesar’s side

Kept in silence just to prove

Us wrong

No, no his God decides

All the failures of the modern man

No, no longer denies

All the failures of the modern man
