I say I'll rule the world
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Don't cloud my vision
I'm telling you not today
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
'Cause I'm seeing straight
Made my decision
Made it through the shades of grey
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Made it my own way
Oh Oh Oh Oh
I materialize the feeling
To carry on, to carry on
I know some will say I'm dreaming
But I carry on, I carry on

They say no way, oh, I say I'll rule the world
Ain't afraid of the walls, I'm a break 'em down
They stay the same, oh, I'm feelin' high as a bird
Ain't afraid of the ground, I'm a stay up
I say yeah yeah yeah, they say no no no
They say slow slow slow, I say go go go
They say no way, oh, I say I'll rule the world
I say I rule the world

I chased illusion
Then I watched it fade to black
Throwing me off track
Found revolution
Found it in a simple fact
I ain't coming back

I materialize the feeling
To carry on, to carry on
I know some will say I'm dreaming
But I carry on, I carry on

They say no way, oh, I say I'll rule the world
Ain't afraid of the walls, I'm a break 'em down
They stay the same, oh, I'm feelin' high as a bird
Ain't afraid of the ground, I'm a stay up
I say yeah yeah yeah, they say no no no
They say slow slow slow, I say go go go
They say no way, oh, I say I'll rule the world
I say I'll rule the world
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
I say I rule the world
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Oh Oooh
Oh Oooh

They say no way, oh, I say I'll rule the world
Ain't afraid of the walls, I'm a break 'em down
They stay the same, oh, I'm feelin' high as a bird
Ain't afraid of the ground, I'm a stay up

I say yeah yeah yeah, they say no no no
They say slow slow slow, I say go go go
They say no way, oh, I say I'll rule the world
I say I rule the world
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
I say I rule the world
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
I say I rule the world
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
I say I rule the world
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oooh
Oh Oh Oh Oh

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.
