Atrocity Exhibition Lyrics
Artist(Band):Joy Division
Review The Song (3)Print the Lyrics
Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'

This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

In arenas he kills for a prize,
Wins a minute to add to his life.
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more,
Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall.

This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

You'll see the horrors of a faraway place,
Meet the architects of law face to face.
See mass murder on a scale you've never seen,
And all the ones who try hard to succeed.

This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more,
Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years,
All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire,
Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair,
Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be.

Review about Atrocity Exhibition

ian's masterpiece | Reviewer: Thomas Whiteside | 10/26/2008

For the record the song itself was not actually inspired or based around the Ballard novel on the same name, Ian was indeed a Ballard fan, but did not read Atrocity Exhibition until after he'd finished the song, the song however was at that stage in need of a title, as Ian saw paralells between his untitled song and the book, he figured Atrocity Exhibition was a perfect title.



Love & Napalm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/14/2008

The lyrics take a basis from the brilliant J.G. Ballard book of the same name (occasionally the book is titled Love & Napalm: Export U.S.A., though).

Curtis is one of my favourite lyricists, and this exemplify why. It's haunting for its reality and put forth with such a mastery of words.



The Heart Of The Matter | Reviewer: keving | 11/27/2006

Inspired by a book, I believe, Ian Curtis produces lyrics that fight with the music, as the feedback and ceremonial drums hold sway. Delving deep into humanity's lust for power, payback, and bloodsport, the song takes you into a world too honest for most to really see. The song starts off their 2nd album/cd, "Closer!" "This is the way, step inside!"
