This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
A clock face ticking on empty dial
I only want what I know is mine
Sound the bells
Cause here's the good new
Here's the one you been waiting for
Your time has come
Ain't gonna wait no more
Can I get a piece for me
You know when something's up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
When everything is everything
And everything you see
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be
Millions march back on their feet
Still no sign from, a, those who preach
Teach me not
They don't represent me
Here's the one you been waiting for
Don't waste time
Ain't gonna wait no more
Can I get a shout for me
You know when something's up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be
Nothing's new and nothing gained
When all is lost and nothing claimed
Except the parts
They keep for their-selves
Here's the one you been waiting for
Don't waste time
Ain't gonna wait no more
Can I get a shout for me
Can I get a little piece for me
For me
Oh, for me
For me
I only want what I know is mine
Sound the bells
Cause here's the good new
Here's the one you been waiting for
Your time has come
Ain't gonna wait no more
Can I get a piece for me
You know when something's up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
When everything is everything
And everything you see
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be
Millions march back on their feet
Still no sign from, a, those who preach
Teach me not
They don't represent me
Here's the one you been waiting for
Don't waste time
Ain't gonna wait no more
Can I get a shout for me
You know when something's up
When it hits you hard
You feel like starting over
Straight back for yards
Sees us doing all the things
That we want to be
Nothing's new and nothing gained
When all is lost and nothing claimed
Except the parts
They keep for their-selves
Here's the one you been waiting for
Don't waste time
Ain't gonna wait no more
Can I get a shout for me
Can I get a little piece for me
For me
Oh, for me
For me

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
