Atrocity Exhibition Songtext
von Joy Division

Asylums and homes built to the wire
Where people have paid to see inside
For entertainment, they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, "I still exist"

This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside

In arenas, he kills for a prize
Wins a minute to add to his life
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more
Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall

This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside


This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way

This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside

You′ll see the horrors of a faraway place
Meet the architects of law face to face
See mass murder on a scale you've never seen
And all the ones who try hard to succeed

This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside


This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
Going all the way
Going all the way
Going all the way
Going all the way
Going all the way
All the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way

Step inside
Step inside
Step inside
Step inside
