Warsaw (2010 Remastered Version) Lyrics
Joy Division
Lyrics
3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5, Go!
I was there in the back stage
when first light came around.
I grew up like a changeling
to win the first time around.
I can see all the weakness
i can pick all the faults
well i concede all the faith tests
just to stick in your throats
3 1 g, 3 1 g, 3 1 g
to mirror all that you've done
to find the right side of reason
to kill the three lies for one
i can see all the cold facts
i can see through your eyes
all this talk made no contact
no matter how hard we tried
3 1 g, 3 1 g, 3 1 g
i can still hear the footsteps
i can only see walls
i slid into your man-traps
with no hearing at all
i just see contradiction
had to give up the fight
just to live in the past tense
to make believe you were right
3 1 g, 3 1 g, 3 1 g
3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5
