Lyrics

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 (Verse 1)
It's a lifetime guarantee
Stuffed in a coffin, 10% more free
Red light special at the mausoleum

Give me something that I need
Satifaction guaranteed to you
What's the consolation prize? (Pre-Chorus 1)
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 (Verse 2)
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 (Pre-Chorus 2)
Satisfaction guaranteed

Because I'm thinkin about a brand new hope
The one I've never known (Chorus 1)
Cuz 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 thinkin about a brand new hope
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinkin about the only road (Chorus 2)
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
Cuz now I know it's all that I wanted
