You know, today I was asked only one question
|
One question all day
|
Do you know what that was?
|
"Do you want this supersized?"
|
Come to think of it, I'd like the whole fucking world supersized
|
|
Supersize guns
|
Supersize planes
|
Supersize satellites
|
Think about how many more channels you could get with supersized satellites
|
|
Supersize sales
|
How do you supersize a sale?
|
How about we supersize 3rd World debt relief?
|
|
Supersize love
|
Supersize honesty
|
Supersize government
|
Come to think of it
|
Actually, nah, let's not supersize the government
|
|
Supersize death
|
Can I have a supersized death?
|
I'd like to supersize a death with a Coke
|
|
You know what we need?
|
Some back-up singers, hook up like a little jingle
|
|
["It's all right, it's sooner or later" repeated in background]
|
|
Kinda like that
|
Supersize the song
|
Really, if we supersize the record, we'll sell more records, it's a supersized record
|
That is, after all, our ambition
|
|
[chorus:]
|
Fake lighting flashes over the skyline
|
A deer in your headlights
|
So gun it, gun it, gun it, gun it, gun it
|
We're singing songs about 21st century living
|
If hate's in your heart, man
|
You'll take what you're given
|
|
[Matt:]
|
Ambition, ambition's a tricky thing
|
It's like riding a unicycle on a dental floss tightrope over a wilderness of razor blades
|
Ambition can backfire
|
Ambition means more
|
Ambition means faster
|
Ambition means better
|
|
I wonder if you can sup?
Can you supersize ambition?
|
Does that make you ambitious if you supersize ambition?
|
Around here, our ambition hurts more than it helps
|
Around here our ambition throws an non-perishable item in a donation bin at Christmas
|
And it pats itself on the fucking back because it thinks it's done something decent
|
|
["It's all right, it's sooner or later" repeated in background]
|
|
Yeah, we're supersizing ambition
|
Make no mistake about it
|
Our ambition will televise the revolution
|
And it'll sell more fucking commercial spots than the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the World Series, and the Tragedy Du Jour
|
combined
|
We're supersizing
|
We're supersizing the record
|
'Cause we're ambitious
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
If hate's in your heart, man
|
You'll take what your given
