a brand new hope.

Today's the Macy's Day parade.
The night of the living dead is on it's way...
with a credit report for duty call.
It's a lifetime guarantee.
Stuffed in a coffin 10% more free.
Red light special at the mausoleum.

Give me something that I need.
Satisfaction guaranteed to you.
What's the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope.

When I was a kid, I thought...
I wanted all the things that I haven't got.
Oh, but I learned the hardest way.
Then I realized what it took...
to tell the difference between thieves and crooks.
A lesson learned for me and you.


'Cause I'm thinkin about a brand new hope.
The one I've never known.
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted.

What's the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope.
Give me something that I need.
Satisfaction guaranteed.

'Cause I'm thinkin' about a brand new hope.
The one I've never known.
And where it goes...

And I'm thinkin' about a brand new hope.
The one I've never known.
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted.
