Super-Size Me

Thanks to Dave Beal for inspiration and a lot of great lines!
 
"It's the story of America" the president said.
"We do big things."
So send us your money, so we can do more big things.
I’m a little confused: is this politics, or advertizing?
Is he reaching out or re-branding?
Is this just New Coke, only Big Coke?
GE: We bring big things to light. 
Mountain Dew – Puttin' the BIG on that thing you do!
Chevrolet- like a really big rock.
 
You know, that could work for the United States. 
Perhaps we should make it our new corporate- er, national slogan:
We do big things.
Let's get busy then- we've got some re-branding to do.
New Deal. New Frontier. Great Society…
Big Deal. Big Frontier. Great Big Society, cause we do big things, damnit.
God Bless America and our big things.
Oh say, can you see the big things we do?

After all, what is America but a big country full of big people
with big mouths and big dreams, waving our big guns, doing big things.
From fomenting revolution to denying evolution, from consumption to pollution,
it’s all big big big here!
We don’t just build churches, we build mega-churches!
We don’t just have malls-
we build malls so big you need a shuttle bus to get you from the parking lot to the front door.
Get a bigger storage unit to hold the bigger pile of stuff you bought
cause there's only 342 more shopping days until the big day!
We've got all the really big name stars
up there on the big screen, the ultra-screen, the extreme screen!
America is the land of bigger breasts and bigger hearts,
We seek the biggest thrills and take the biggest pills,
serve the biggest burgers and sport  the biggest waistlines in the world-
because you deserve big things today. 

And who else is as big as America? 
Canada is pretty big, but most of that is ice, so it doesn’t count.
And China- their country is big, but a lot of the people are pretty short,
and don’t even speak English.
In America we call our cities the Big Apple, the Big Easy
and the city of the Big Shoulders.
We are the land of the big sky country,
and we carve our heroes out of freakin mountains, baby!
We reached out and touched the moon…
Blown apart mountains and built new ones out of garbage
and fought wars, and started wars,
built dams and dug canals that have changed the earth forever.
 

Oh yeah,  I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I"m big…
our land, our appetite,
and our leaders don't just lead America,
they lead "the free world" and it doesn't get much bigger than that1
Ask not what your country can do for you- it can do big things!
Speak softly and do big things.
Are you now, or have you ever been a small thing?
And when the president does a big thing, it’s not illegal.
I did not do a big thing with that woman. 
A house divided cannot do big things.
We are the big thing we have been waiting for.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the big things that we do.

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, we do big things.
You want big? You can't handle big!
When the going gets big, the big do things.
Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and big things

'cause it’s a big fucking deal, America!
Four score and several small things ago, America did a really big thing!
We the People of the United States formed a more perfect union
in order to do really big things,
And if you're gonna crash and burn, do it big!
So when in the course of human events it becomes necessary to do big things… we have nothing to fear but small stuff.
