21ST Century Living

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
