Biggering - Original Demo
At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff
I had a little cottage and that cottage was enough
A place where I could sit and knit
A place where I could sell my thneeds
But now I've had a little time to reassess my needs
And I need a bigger office, I need a bigger chair
A bigger desk, a bigger staff
A bigger hat to wear
Because I'm biggering (yes, biggering)
I'm figgering on biggering
And biggering is triggering more biggering
Hey, listen up, meathead
I'm gonna say this once, and I'm not gonna repeat it
Greed, see, it's like a little pet, alright?
And the more and more and more that you go and feed it
The more hungry it'll get
But you know, you really can't blame greed
No, that's stupid
You see, it's gotta worm inside
Oh yeah, that's right
It's one that always needs to feed and it is never satisfied
You get it?
But the more you try to find it
The more it likes to hide
Now listen, that is a nasty, little worm
And I like to call it pride
See, now that's why you're biggering!
Listen here, idiot
And figgering on biggering
But that biggering's just triggering more biggering
Got that? Alright
There is a principle of nature that most every creature knows
It's called survival of the fittest and this is how it goes
The animal that wins has got to claw and kick and punch
The animal that doesn't winds up someone else's lunch
A company's an animal (animal)
That's trying to survive (survive, oh)
It's struggling and fighting (fighting)
Just to keep itself alive (keep itself alive)
I must keep biggering
I'm figgering on biggering
Though biggering is triggering more biggering
I won't stop biggering
I'm figgering on biggering
And biggering is triggering more biggering
With the customers all buying
And the money multiplying
And the PR people lying
And the lawyers all denying
Who cares if some things are dying?
I don't wanna hear your crying
This is all so gratifying
I had a little cottage and that cottage was enough
A place where I could sit and knit
A place where I could sell my thneeds
But now I've had a little time to reassess my needs
And I need a bigger office, I need a bigger chair
A bigger desk, a bigger staff
A bigger hat to wear
Because I'm biggering (yes, biggering)
I'm figgering on biggering
