Cul-de-sac is a song by British band Genesis, appearing as the ninth track off their 1980 album, Duke. Lyrics were written by Tony Banks.
The lyrics describe a military regiment, who sense their deaths are near as they march, but continue anyway, blindly following orders.
According to the All Music Guide, the song was for the most part "album filler", and was quickly forgotten by the band, who never played it live.
