No-one finds their peace of mind
Manipulation of mankind
An indication of the blind
There’s no answer you will find
Freedom of choice, freedom of mind
Freedom of speech don’t waste our time
We know what we want
We’ll take it in our stride
Money making is what it takes
It’s your decision there’s no mistakes
Hear the voices crying out
You’ll see the poor go without
Don’t ask them the reason why
They’ve all the power money can buy
Don’t ask them to split their share
Don’t waste your time ‘cos they don’t care
Destitution is not a crime
Revolution’s a waste of time
Administrastions enjoy the ride
The government is on their side
Don’t ask them the reason why
They’ve all the power money can buy
Solo : Mick
The rich get richer, the poor stay poor
The rich get richer always wanting more
The rich get richer, the poor stay in poverty
Why did they decide to call it a democracy
Repeat

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
