The New Kings (iv) Why Is Nothing Ever True? - Marillion

Remember a time when you thought that you mattered,\nBelieved in the school song, die for your country — a country that cared for you\nAll in it together?\nIf it ever was more than a lie or some naive romantic notion\nWell, it’s all shattered now\nIt’s all shattered now\nWhy is nothing ever true?\nWhy is nothing ever true?\nWhy is nothing ever true?\nWell do you remember a time when you thought you belonged to something more\nthan you?\nA country that cared for you\nA national anthem you could sing without feeling used or ashamed\nYou poor sods have only yourselves to blame\nOn your knees, peasant\nYou’re living for the New King\nYou’re living for the New King\nYou’re living for the New King
