You know, today I was only asked one question - one question all day - you know what it was? Do you want this super-sized? You know, come to think of it, I''d like the whole fucking world super-sized. Super-size guns, super-size planes, super-size satellites - think about how many more channels you could get with super-sized satellites. Super size 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 nah, let''s not super-size the government. I''d like to super-size death - can I have a super-size of death? - I''d like a super-size of death with a Coke. You know what we need? Some back-up singers, have like a little jingle...
"...it''s alright sooner or later..."
...kind of like that, you know? We''ll super-size this song. Really, that''s the goal isn''t it? If we can super-size the record we''ll sell more records - it''s a super-sized record. That is, after all, our ambition.
Fake lightning flashes over the skyline
A deer in your headlights - so 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 razorblades. Ambition can backfire, ambition means more, ambition means faster, ambition means better. I wonder if you could super-size - can you super-size ambition? Does that make you ambitious if you super-size ambition? Around here our ambition hurts more than it helps. 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 super-sizing 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 super-sizing, we''re super sizing the record, because we''re ambitious.
