Macy's Day Parade - Green Day

Edit

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



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 heardest way

Then I realized what it took

To tell the difference between

thieves and crooks

when all along it was 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 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
