[Intro – spoken, upbeat corporate tone] Ladies and gentlemen… We are pleased to announce a new chapter. [Verse 1] Fresh new faces on the wall Different voices in the hall Promises in polished tone Same old throne behind the throne New directions proudly framed Nothing really rearranged Careful smiles and steady hands Welcome to the new commands [Pre-Chorus] Change the names Change the chair Keep the wires Hidden there [Chorus] New management Fresh arrangement Different masks Same engagement New management Brand new face Same old engine Different case New management [Verse 2] Press releases bright and bold Stories carefully retold Yesterday is far away Today begins a better day Step aside and take a bow Someone else is speaking now But behind the velvet screen Every gear remains unseen [Pre-Chorus] Shift the lights Turn the stage Different actor Same old page [Chorus] New management Fresh arrangement Different masks Same engagement New management Take a seat Same old rhythm Different beat New management [Bridge – heavier riff section] Curtain falls Curtain rise Brand new script Same disguise Round we go Once again Different leaders Same old game [Break – spoken] Nothing has changed… except the names. [Final Chorus – big stadium chant] New management Fresh arrangement Different masks Same engagement New management Take a look Same old story Different book New management [Outro – spoken] Thank you… for your continued trust.
