Lyrics

[Verse 1]

North to south, empty

Running on bravado

As if to say, as if to say

As if to say he doesn't like chocolate

He's born a liar, he'll die a liar

Some things will never be different

[PreChorus]

Stop being

So American

There's a time and there's a place

So James Dean

So blue jeans

Gonna save the world, he's gonna

[Chorus]

Are you hoping for a miracle?

Are you hoping for a miracle?

Are you hoping for a miracle?

Are you hoping for a miracle?

[Verse 2]

Three out of five, three out of five

It's not enough

Six out of ten, better luck next time

Just like his dad, just like his dad

The same mistakes

Some things will never be different

Hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb

So wait in line

Queuing up for some more junk food

It's not my fault, it's not my fault

Just this once

They're getting so much younger

[PreChorus]

Why can't you be

More European?

Bastard child of guilt and shame

Bury your head

In the sand

I'm thinking six, six, six, I'm thinking six

[Chorus]

Are you hoping for a miracle?

Are you hoping for a miracle?

Are you hoping for a miracle?

Are you hoping for a miracle?

[Chorus]

Are you hoping for a miracle?

It's not enough

Are you hoping for a miracle?

It's not enough

It's not enough

Are you hoping for a miracle?

It's not enough

It's not enough

Are you hoping for a miracle?

It's not enough

It's not enough
