[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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
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)
Are you hoping for a miracle? (It's not enough, it's not enough)
