21st Century Living

Lyrics

You know, today I was only asked one question
 One question all day, you know what that was?
 "Do you want this supersized?"
 You know, come to think of it
 I'd like the whole fucking world supersized
 Supersized guns
 Supersized planes
 Supersized satellites
 Think about how many more
 Channels you could get with supersized satellites
 Supersized sales
 How do you supersize a sale?
 How about we supersize third-world debt relief?
 Supersize love
 Supersize honesty
 Supersize government
 Come to think of it
 Actually, nah, let's not supersize the government
 I'd like to supersize death
 "Can I have a supersized death?"
 I'd like to supersize a death, with a Coke
 You know what we need?
 Some backup singers, hook up like a little jingle (it's all right)
 Kind of like that, you know? (Sooner or later)
 We're supersizing the song (it's all right)
 Really, that's the goal, isn't it? (Sooner or later)
 We can supersize the record, we'll sell more records (it's all right)
 It's a supersized record (Sooner or later, it's all right)
 That is, after all, our ambition (sooner or later)
 Fake lightning 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
 Ambition, ambition's a tricky thing
 It's like riding a unicycle over 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
 See, around here our ambition throws a non-perishable item
 In a donation bin at Christmas
 And then pats itself on the fucking back
 Because it thinks it's done something decent
 Yeah, we're supersizing ambition
 Make no mistake about it
 Ambition will televise the revolution (it's all right, sooner or later)
 And it'll sell more fucking commercial spots
 Than the Superbowl, the Olympics, the World Series (it's all right)
 And the tragedy du jour, combined (sooner or later)
 We're supersizing (it's all right)
 We're supersizing the record (sooner or later)
 'Cause we're ambitious
 (It's all right, sooner or later)
 Fake lightning 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
 If hate's in your heart, man
 You'll take what you're given
