Called survival of the fittest (Survival of the fittest)

And check it, this is how it goes

The animal that wins gotta scratch and fight

And claw, and bite, and punch

And the animal that doesn't, well, the animal that doesn't

Winds up someone else's lu-lu-lu-lu-lunch

So I'm biggerin' my company, I'm biggerin' my factory

I'm biggerin' my corporate sign

Everybody out there, you take care of yours

And me? I'll take care of mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!

Let me hear you say, "Smogulous smoke" (Smogulous smoke)

Complain all you want, it's never ever, ever, ever gonna stop (Stop)

Come on, how bad can I possibly be?

Just look at me pettin' this puppy

How ba-a-a-ad can I be?

A portion of proceeds goes to charity

How ba-a-a-ad can I be?

How bad can I possibly be? Let's see

Who cares if a few trees are dying?
