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

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.
