21st Century Living Lyrics/Rant

You know today I was only asked one question
One question all day, do you know what that was?
"Do you want this super-sized?"
You know, come to think of it
I'd like the whole fucking world supersized
"Super-sized guns"
Super-sized planes
Super-sized satellites
Think about how many more channels you could get with super-sized satellites
"Super-sized sales"
How do you super-size a sale?
How about we super-size third world debt relief?
"Super-size love"
Super-size honesty
Super-size government, come to think of it
Actually no, let's not super-size the government
I'd like to super-size death
I'd like to super-size a death with a coke
You know what we need?Some backup singers, make a little jingle
(It's alright, sooner or later) Kinda like that, you know
(It's alright, sooner or later) Let's super-size this song
(It's alright, sooner or later) Really, that's the goal isn't it?
(It's alright, sooner or later) If you can super-size the record, we'll sell more records!
(It's alright, sooner or later) It's a super-sized record
(It's alright, sooner or later) That is after all, our ambition

...

Ambition, ambition's a tricky thing
It's like riding a unicycle over a dental floss tight rope
Over a wilderness of razor blades
Ambition can backfire, ambition means more
Ambition means faster, ambition means better
I wonder if you can super- can you supersize ambition?
Does that make you ambitious, if you supersize ambition?
Around here our ambition hurts more than it helps
Around here our ambition throws a non-perishable item In the donation bin at Christmas
And it pats itself on the fucking back
Because it thinks its done something decent
Yeah, we're super-sizing ambition, make no mistake about it
