The New Kings Lyrics - Marillion

(i. Fuck Everyone and Run) 

We are the new Kings 

Sailing our seas of diamonds and gold 

We are the new Kings 

Seldom seen, elsewhere and unknown 

We are the new Kings 

Buying up London from Monaco 

We do as we please 

While you do as you're told 

Fuck everyone and run 

Fuck everyone and run 

Tony, not Anthony ,suitably masked 

Nassau Bahamas, Geneva, Luxembourg ,no questions asked 

Our world orbits yours and enjoys the view 

From this height we don't see the slums and the bums on the street 

Or the mums on the game 

Fuck everyone and run 

Fuck everyone and run 

We're too big to fall 

We're too big to fail 

We're too big to fall 

We're too big to fail 

And when we do, 

It's down to you 

We're too big to fall 

We're too big to fail 

Too big 

(ii. Russia's Locked Doors) 

We are the new Kings 

We had the keys to Old Russia's locked doors 

We are the new Kings 

Here on the corporation's top floor 

If you cross us we'll buy you and you can retire 

Your children set up for life 

Think about it, 

Greed is good.. 

We are the new Kings 

We sold your council houses, not to you, but the banks 

Up in the stratosphere - wielding the knife 

While you said thanks 

Oceans of money high in the clouds 

But if you hang around 

More often than not, it'll trickle down, 

While the diggers of the diamonds we wear, labour underground for dear life 

On your knees, peasant, and kiss this ring 

You're working for the new king 

We are the new kings 

I'll tell you a tale 

We're too big to fall 

We're too big to fail 

(iii. A Scary Sky) 

We saw the crash on the news today ,oh boy 

It changed our lives 

But did it really happen? 

Flyin' high in a scary sky 

Flyin' high in a scary sky 

What's going on? 

What's going on? 

What's going on? 

I don't know if I can believe the news 

I don't know if I can believe the news 

They can do anything these days 

They can do anything with computers these days 

(iv. Why is Nothing Ever True?) 

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.
