Your message is no longer for sale
Everybody wants the image you've got for sale
Struck down from the pillar
Short lived is all you'll ever be
But buddy you've taken the nation
So bring forth donations
Don't be afraid
Check it out the new teen beat model of the year
There's no consolation prize
There's no prize for consolation
A great sensation has swept the nation
All stuck in the middle
Between what is and what might be
As not quite sensations
There's no prize for consolation
And no proclamation
We're happy if our songs get heard at all
There's no consolation prize
With massive compromations on your part
Of what you say
'Cause anyway
There's no prize for consolation
That's right
A once great sensation
Has wiped out the nation
There's no prize for consolation
There's no prize for consolation
There's no consolation prize
You held onto while the rest of us moved on
But mere subatomic particles of the nation
For the boombox generation
Will return the station
There's no consolation prize
There's no consolation prize
