Failures Lyrics - Substance - Joy Division

Don't speak of safe Messiahs 

A failure of the Modern Man 

To the centre of all 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 can see 

In his way he was the only one 

In his way he was the only one 

Photos 

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 time 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
