Leaders of Men Songtext
von Peter Hook & the Light

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 life's on the door
And it drips to the floor
And you think you can touch
But 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
A thousand words if spoken loud
Reach the dumb to fool the crowd


When you tap 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 arcade
Where the future's not made

A nightmare situation
Infiltrate imagination
Specs and pass-hall rewards
Buy the war 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 state
To twist the internation hate
Self-induced manipulation
To crush all thoughts of man's salvation
