I'm hearing every word you say only I'm not listening
I hope you regret this
Attack and destroy the line
Speak the words that you want me to remember and
I'll take them to the death, to the death
This is a payment of society
If you promise there's no for giving me
Just a precaution of security
I want it all, yeah
I must walk on the blood of all humanity
To mark the yard where hope drowned, this is the battleground, here we go
Now well set the tone
You're becoming the sheep and were the cannibals
This is only a game
As you were bending the rules we built our foundation
You think you're big time?
You're gonna fucking die big time
Now speak the words you want me to forget, to the death
Enjoy the company
I will show what it is to yearn
We'll shake the fucking ground
Let's burn this mother down
It shook before and well shake it again before were done
This is my payment to society if you promise there is no forgiving me
Attack, we will set the tone we will take it all back
You're the sheep, were the cannibals
This is just a fucking epilogue
Well shake the fucking ground

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
