This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
God loves the good old USA
Congrats to one and all
We've traveled to the top
Now they're ready for our fall
We've reached new heights and seen the sights
Smell the roses while we can
For another star has fallen in America
For a democracy to work
We gotta see it from both sides
Stop pointing fingers
Shut your mouth and compromise
These last ten long months
Our division really grew
When the guy in charge said
"It's just another flu"
Let's get our shit together
Not make things such a fuss
We can't behave like nitwits
The world is watching us
No more silly temper tantrums
Let's all just behave
Remember who we are
We're the home of the brave
God loves the good old USA
Congrats to one and all
We've traveled to the top
Now they're ready for our fall
We've reached new heights and seen the sights
Smell the roses while we can
For another star has fallen in America
We used to be the heroes
Today we are their trash
They took all our good will
And they shoved it up our ass
The welcome has worn out
For the red, white, and blue
If we don't smarten up
They're gonna tell us all to screw
But can you really blame 'em all
For thinking that we suck?
With our antics and behavior
The people are fed up
So let's find a common ground
On which we can agree
Congress, Senate, White House
And Mike the legend Lee
God loves the good old USA
Congrats to one and all
We've traveled to the top
Now they're ready for our fall
We've reached new heights and seen the sights
Smell the roses while we can
For another star has fallen in America
Na na na na
Na na na na
Hey, hey, hey
Goodbye
Na na na na
Na na na na
Hey, hey, hey
Goodbye
Everyone's talking louder
To make sure that they are heard
But just like when mom yelled at us
We didn't catch a word
Restraint of pen and tongue
A lost thought of times gone by
Today you think it, then you tweet it
In an outburst on the fly
God loves the good old USA
Congrats to one and all
We've traveled to the top
Now they're ready for our fall
We've reached new heights and seen the sights

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
