21st Century Living Lyrics
You know, today I was asked only one question
One question all day
Do you know what that was?
"Do you want this supersized?"
Come to think of it, I'd like the whole fucking world supersized
Supersize guns
Supersize planes
Supersize 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
Supersize death
Can I have a supersized death?
I'd like to supersize a death with a Coke
You know what we need?
Some back-up singers, hook up like a little jingle
["It's all right, it's sooner or later" repeated in background]
Kinda like that, you know
Supersize this song
Really, that's the goal isn't it?
If we supersize the record, we'll sell more records, it's a supersized record
That is, after all, our ambition
[Sang]
Fake lighting flashes, over the skyline
A deer in your headlights
So 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
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, it's sooner or later" repeated in background]
Yeah, we're supersizing ambition
Make no mistake about it
Our 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
[Sang]
Fake lighting flashes, over the skyline
A deer in your headlights
So 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

That's the talking part of the song
holy shit why has no one made comments on any songs off of avalanche
this is just another the future is x rated type songs basically matt good reminding us what this world is turning into
thanks for putting th whole thing in there, it doesn;t make much sense without it all haha. the lyrics are brilliant, the song is brillant. i just wish more people copuld hear it and really listen to it.
I was never a matt good fan, but this cd is amazing
this song if frickin awesome!
matt good is great, i don't know if anyone has every seen him do this song live but he changes it everytime he does it, i have seen it done a couple of times and it alwasy varies to whatever the political issues that are bothering him are. it just adds some flavour to his show and it is always so heartfelt.
I've seen Matt do this song live, right after his Avalanche cd came out, it was great. I also saw him in concert right after White Light Rock & Roll Review came out and ended up meeting him after the concert
This is amazing... honestly, he is a genius. This song is is poignant and manages to be so catchy at the same time. "I'd like a supersize of death with a coke..."
Brilliance.
This is the song that pushed me to my future (hopefully) career. I heard it back in high school, and it started me to thinking. I started reading some of Matt's MBlog's and decided I wanted to be a journalist... and here I am, second year of university head on towards a major in Journalism.
This song is really about our worlds ridiculous idea that "bigger is better"... with the chorus "Fake lightning over the skyline, dear in your headlights so Gun It Gun It Gun it!" it pretty much is saying that technology and ambition of our world is pretty much fucking over nature.
