Recorded in March 1980 at Britannia Row Studios, Islington, London
This version was released on Closer and on Heart_and_Soul

Asylums with doors open wide
Where people could pay to see inside
For entertainment
they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says: I still exist
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 --
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 --


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
