Sin city

Where did it go wrong
What happened here
In a town without pity
Paralyzed by our fear
Confidence at a standstill
Daylight only a smear
Tension that you could handle
Chokes the thick atmosphere

No more slogans to shout
No more visions to sell
Just a ghost from the past
Of the urge to rebel
Like an etching of death
Knocking at the front door
Will the forces of peace
Overcome even more

Sin city

Sin city

Did we fail in a past life
Do we have to be hurt
By contempt for the humdrum
Hungry still to subvert
Do we seek the horizon
Struggle on to be heard
Standing up to be counted
With our principles blurred

Just too jaded to beg
Passion left in the past
Is it time to move on
To surrender at last
Must we really fight on
When we don't give a damn
Is it time for release
For an end to this sham

The Human League

The Human League are a synth pop band from Sheffield, England, formed in 1977. They generated a string of synthesizer-backed dance pop hits throughout the 80s. David Bowie dubbed the group “the sound of the future” in 1981.

The band is best known for its third studio album released in 1981, Dare! The fourth single from Dare, “Don’t You Want Me,” catapulted to #1 in the UK and US.

Phil Oakey is the only core member of the group. The band’s first incarnation was as an arty all-male synthesizer group, composed of Oakey, Martyn Ware, and Ian Craig Marsh. In the 1980s, Ware and Marsh left the group after continued conflicts with Oakey—they went on to form Heaven 17.
