The New Kings (ii) Russia's Locked Doors - Marillion

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
