21st Century Living

[Matt:]
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, that's the goal isn't it? 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 supт
