METALLICA - "King Nothing"

Metallica's "King Nothing" featured on their 1996 album Load. The lyrics refer to people who devote their whole lives to earning money, until one day they realize ("Then it all crashes down") that all the money has gotten them nothing worthwhile.
The video also suggests a secondary meaning, a critique towards the power-hungry people and politicians, the lost king being the best example for that
At the end of the song, the words "Off to never-never land" can be heard. This is a nod to one of Metallica's most famous songs, Enter Sandman, which also features these words.
