"In Shakespeare, Richard III begs to trade his "Kingdom for a horse", will the English, one day be begging for a gun."

They did in 1939, they probably will again.

[Defiant]

All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old,
But there's no England now.
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore.
All the lies we were told,
All the lies of the people running round,
They're castles have burned.
Now I see change,
But inside we're the same as we ever were.
