An Ideal for Living is the first EP by the English post-punk
band Joy Division. It was released in 1978 by the band's own label, Enigma,
shortly after the group changed its name from Warsaw.
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 arcade,
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.
