    Lyrics
    Today's the Macy's Day Parade
    the night of the living dead is on its 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
    v 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. I learned the hardest way
    Then I realized what it took
    To tell the difference between
    thieves and crooks
    A lesson learned to me and you

    Give me something that I need
    Satisfaction guaranteed
    Because I'm thinking 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
    Because I'm thinking about
    a brand new hope
    the one I've never known
    and where it goes
    and I'm thinking about
    the only road
    the one I've never known
    and where it goes

    Because I'm thinking about
    a brand new hope
    the one I've never known
    cause now I know
    it's all that I wanted
