I want to annoy
And I'm going to enjoy it
And merely 'cause we're bored
Merely because we're bored.

'Cause all you do is hope
You're all fucking hopers
And it's the Lord of the Flies all over again
It's the Lord of the Flies all over again

Now who holds the shell will be Caesar
You can even have it written on your t-shirt
Now who holds the shell will be Caesar
You can even have it written on your t-shirt (Here we go)

King of the hopers will fall
We're gonna knock down the walls
Singin' the Caesar will fall
We gonna knock down his doors

I've heard it all before
And I chose to ignore it
There's someone at your door
There's somebody at your door

Prepare for the test
We'll all get infested
Now it's the Milgram device all over again
It's the Milgram device all over again

Now who holds the shell will be Caesar
You can even have it written on your t-shirt
Now who holds the shell will be Caesar
You can even have it written on your t-shirt (Here we go)

King of the hopers will fall
We're gonna knock down the walls
Singin' the Caesar will fall (We gonna knock down his doors)
We gonna knock down his doors

Hey, Caesar
Yo, Coco
'Ello, geezer
Hey, momma
Can you fly?
Yup
I've heard robins can fly
Whatever
Huh?

We're gonna knock down the walls

King of the hopers will fall
We're gonna knock down the walls
Singin' the Caesar will fall
We're gonna knock down the walls, knock down the walls

King of the hopers will fall (We're gonna knock down the walls)
Singin' the Caesar will fall (Knock down the walls)

I'm going to enjoy it

    It's not "I thought robins could fly" "Whatever". It's "I thought robins could fly" "Et plus", meaning "and more" in french, which is why Coco says "huh?", because it's not english.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
