Biggering - Original Demo Songtext

von The 88

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 re-assess 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,
I'm figuring I'm biggering,
And biggering is triggering
More biggering

Hey, listen up, meathead.
I'm going to say this once, and I'm not gonna repeat it.
Greed... ya 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 NASTY little worm.
And I like to call it "pride."
See, now that's why you're biggering!
Listen here, idiot!
I'm figuring 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,
That's trying to survive,
It's struggling, and fighting,
Just to keep itself alive
I must keep biggering,
I'm figuring I'm biggering,
Though biggering is triggering more biggering.
I won't stop!
Biggering,
I'm figuring I'm biggering,
And biggering is triggering more biggering
And the customers are buying,
And the money multiplying
And the PR people lying
And the lawyers are denying,
Who cares if some things are dying?
I don't wanna hear your crying!
This is all so gratifying...
