"Livin' Large"

They say you are what you drive
So make a statement when you arrive
In a ride about the same curb weight as a train

Forget all this talk of war
And all the oil we're dying for
Never mind that new Humvee
Gets seven M.P.G.

Get a false sense of safety
Drive in sleet going eighty
Lose yourself in luxury
As the gas gauge zooms to empty

But if you drive a little car
It's hard seeing where you are
With all the shiny SUVs
Clogging up the streets

Look at all those countless buyers
Driving 'round on Fawlty Tyres
Disregarding laws of physics
Soon-to-be statistics

The ads brag they're built to haul
But they're all puttering 'round the mall
Monuments of high-tech waste
All fighting for a space

Guess you can't wait to impress us
With your wheels the size of Texas
The world'll know you're livin' large
In your Eddie Bauer barge...
