Anthem for Doomed Youth
Here's a story about the rules of death or glory to be learned by heart by all children of men It's the hour of the morning on the day after the dawning when the sun they said would never set finally set again
Was it Cromwell or Orwell who first led you to the stairwell which leads only forever to Kingdom Come? Rushed along by guiding hands whispers of the promised land then wished you luck and handed you a gun
Life could be so handsome, life could be so gay We're going nowhere but nowhere, nowhere's on our way
In the pub that night racking out the lines of shite plotting to right all of the world's great wrongs Yes we thought that they were brothers then they half murdered each other then they did a karaoke turn and murdered our best song
Told the guv'nors wife about the last night of his life, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com she turned away in tears called you a liar Where are all the old dreams now the battalions once so proud? Lost in some old song and hanging on the old barbed wire
Life could be so handsome It's all going to be OK We're going nowhere but nowhere, nowhere's on our way
Nowhere in the Institutions do they teach the revolution or something that could ever come to pass Oh, we tried one once before was the King's head on the floor we got booted out the boozer 'cause someone smashed a glass
Life could be so handsome Life could be OK We're going nowhere but nowhere, nowhere's on our way Life could be so handsome It's all going to be OK We're going nowhere 'cause nowhere, nowhere's on our way Nowhere's on our way...
