(Verse 1)
Saw you droppin' the slots
Saying "I've got a brand new game"
Running down the alley with an hour you bought
From a man with no last name
Like an idiot animal
Too stupid to shame
(Chorus)
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new, brand new game
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new game
(Verse 2)
Ape man in a cave
Painting on the wall
Nothing's gonna keep ambition's menacing glances
The nothing that's got it all
From gazing over to where hope sleeps
Artificially small
Like a beast untamed
(Chorus)
Got a brand new, brand new game
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new game
(Verse 3)
No happiness allowed
'Cause one's never enough
Two's always a crowd
(Instrumental Break)
(Verse 4)
I got a microscope and a slide
And a glass eye nature made
Everything's impossible
There's nothing to do
But oppose this promenade
Push the point to oblivion
And keep turning the blade
(Chorus)
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new, brand new game
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new game
