21st Century Living

歌詞

You know, today I was asked only one question And it—One question all day Do 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 "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 I'd like to supersize death Can I have a supersize of death? I'd like a supersize of death with a Coke You know what we need? Some back-up singers, hook up like a little jingle ("It's all right, sooner or later" repeated in background) Kinda like that We'll supersize the song! Really, that's the goal, isn't it? We can supersize the record, we'll sell more records! It's a supersized record! That is, after all, our ambition 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 Ambition, ambition's a tricky thing It's like riding a unicycle over a dental floss tightrope over a wilderness or 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 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, sooner or later" repeated in background) Yeah, we're supersizing ambition Make no mistake about it 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 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 If hate's in your heart, man You'll take what your given
