This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Ahh... Go!
The sky is falling it's a curious condition
It ain't a fallacy, it ain't superstition
You live your life like you're some kind of actor
But this scenario you cannot manufacture
We're gonna need some action
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness
It's all the same, there's nothing new
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Where'd you learn how to be so complacent?
They beat you down and you might as well face it
Your heroes lied, yeah they're all just a fake
Don't know how much more of this I can take
We're gonna need some action
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness,
It's all the same, there's nothing new
We're gonna need some action (We're gonna need some action)
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness,
It's all the same, there's nothing... New!
Ahh... Go!
We're gonna need some action (We're gonna need some action)
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness,
It's all the same, there's nothing new
We're gonna need some action (We're gonna need some action)
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness,
It's all the same, there's nothing new
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Action! Action! Action! Action!
The sky is falling it's a curious condition
It ain't a fallacy, it ain't superstition
You live your life like you're some kind of actor
But this scenario you cannot manufacture
We're gonna need some action
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness
It's all the same, there's nothing new
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Where'd you learn how to be so complacent?
They beat you down and you might as well face it
Your heroes lied, yeah they're all just a fake
Don't know how much more of this I can take
We're gonna need some action
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness,
It's all the same, there's nothing new
We're gonna need some action (We're gonna need some action)
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness,
It's all the same, there's nothing... New!
Ahh... Go!
We're gonna need some action (We're gonna need some action)
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness,
It's all the same, there's nothing new
We're gonna need some action (We're gonna need some action)
We're gonna need some action soon
Trapped in a world of ordinary madness,
It's all the same, there's nothing new
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Com'on, com'on
Action! Action! Action! Action!

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
wow no comments...awesome song. featured on the nascar thunder 2004 soundtrack. proof that powerman 5000 has some talent in my mind
What a great song. Easily one of my favorites by PM5k. Sounds to me like they're talking about people here in the US not doing very much to help (ourselves) or others around the world. (You know, the important matters such as famine and poverty.)
@JJ_20: In no way does being on a Nascar CD mark a highpoint for a band, rather it is the lowest of the low. Nascar fans are disgusting inbred rednecks, and them listening to good music never fares well.
I think that this is a song that anyone can read anything into it. I'm feeling kind of anti-religion right now, so that is what the song is.
"It’s all the same, there’s nothing new " All religions are just reruns of the same old tired ideas.
"Trapped in a world of ordinary madness, " Everyone expects you to belive in/respect god, when the idea of god is a ridiculous one at best (a spook in the attic watching your every move - the FBI, perhaps?)
"Your heroes lied, yeah they’re all just a fake " See above for god discussion. Priests/organized religions are just bunch of fakes.
"They beat you down and you might as well face it " People use and abuse religious teachings for their own ends - the Christian right justifying war on other countries (Can you tell I'm a democrat :) ) with religious teachings. People use religion to subvert others, not empower them.
"You live your life like you’re some kind of actor " Religious people live like they have something to prove, and something to achieve to ensure their place in heaven. They are actors, and god(s) is(are) the audience.
"It ain’t a fallacy, it ain’t superstition " This is self explanatory.
"We’re gonna need some action soon" Read what you want into this.
