The New Kings (iv) Lyrics - Marillion

Remember a time when you thought that you mattered, 

Believed in the school song, die for your country - a country that cared for you 

All in it together? 

If it ever was more than a lie or some naive romantic notion 

Well, it's all shattered now 

It's all shattered now 

Why is nothing ever true? 

Why is nothing ever true? 

Why is nothing ever true? 

Well do you remember a time when you thought you belonged to something more than you? 

A country that cared for you 

A national anthem you could sing without feeling used or ashamed 

You poor sods have only yourselves to blame 

On your knees, peasant 

You're living for the New King 

You're living for the New King 

You're living for the New King
