Leaders of Men Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Shock_Resistor 

Cover art for Leaders of Men lyrics by Joy Division

To me this song expresses several things. It expresses anger and frustration that authority figures cause when they impose their will on you. "the seeds that are sown are no longer your own."

It also speaks of dumb people who will believe anything that they are told by polititions,teachers and other people in power. "A 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...."

This line I can really identify with. People say alot of things that are ignorant/and or disturbing and sometimes I just want to hide away from it all.
