Too many young and too many old
Too many people left you in the cold
You want everything to change
'Cause you are afraid of losing
She only exists when she's on a screen
He's only alive inside a machine
We want everything to change
'Cause we are afraid of losing
Tell me do you really need this
Tell me do you really care
Tell me do you really need this
Tell me do you really care
I don't think you really need this
I don't think you really care
I don't think you really need this
I don't think you really care
Too many young and too many old
To many people left in the cold
We want everything to change
Now I'm so afraid of losing
Yeah yeah yeah
Too many people left you in the cold
You want everything to change
'Cause you are afraid of losing
She only exists when she's on a screen
He's only alive inside a machine
We want everything to change
'Cause we are afraid of losing
Tell me do you really need this
Tell me do you really care
Tell me do you really need this
Tell me do you really care
I don't think you really need this
I don't think you really care
I don't think you really need this
I don't think you really care
Too many young and too many old
To many people left in the cold
We want everything to change
Now I'm so afraid of losing
Yeah yeah yeah

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
naa i think you are on the wrong path! "too many young and too many old too many people left you in the cold you want everyting to change" that is about people of a society, their fears, created due to news and stuff(like "new studies show that in 50 years there are too less workers(-> too many olds and too less youngs and so on) "too many people left you in the cold" is different to the lines above it, because it is about a personal disappointment. It means, "too many people disappointed you(either emotionally(once you loved broke up or something) or well like friends who didnt keep a promise).
"you want everyting to change 'cause you are afraid of losing " so the points above are leading to this part. Because they are afraid of losing their security(not in the way of being threatend but in a way of losing your job and stuff)
"she only exists when shes on a screen" that could have 3 meanings. 1) she isn't real in the physical way 2) she is but needs all the attention 3) she is but she is faking her personality
"he's only alive inside a machine"
hmmm hard one ;/ yeah mybe about pc/internet life, talking to someone over icq/msn whatever, but you have no "real" contact with him, or it is about machinisation
"we want everyting to change 'cause you are afraid of losing "
same as above, but here it is "we"...that changes through out the song ^^
" tell me, do you really need this? and tell me, do you really care? and tell me, do you really need this? and tell me, do you really care? I don't think you really need this I don't think you really care and I don't think you really need this and I don't think you really care "
i think this is about consumtion, and the society which buys think they dont need, they dont care about if it is not there
"too many young and too many old too many people left you in the cold you want everyting to change now I'm so afraid of losing"
i think he is afraid of the way everyone wants the system to change, which he thinks is wrong...hmm yeah, it is about mhh a capitalistic society, kinda
