Failures

Lyrics for Failures

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 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
