Lyrics Failures - Joy Division

Failures

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
