"Biggering" lyrics

"Biggering"
(from "The Lorax" soundtrack)

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 reassess 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 (yes, biggering)
I'm figuring, I'm biggering
And biggering is triggering
More biggering

Hey, listen up, meathead
I'm gonna say this once, and I'm not gonna repeat it
Greed, 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 got a 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
And figure it on biggering
But that biggering's just triggering more biggering
Got that? Alright

There is a principle of nature that almost 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 bite 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 (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
