Joy Division - Leaders Of Men lyrics

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,

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
