The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Mind is blown but her body’s still in shock
Can’t see nothing as she’s staring at the kitchen clock
Feel so bland in the eye of the storm; it’s a bedroom day
We should switch, we should pass ourselves around
Meet me at the corner; tear your dream-home down
It’s a goddamn shit-show out here now
Something to tell you about, someone told me about
I know I’m weak and this weekend you’ll find out
Yes, I sleep at the fucking whore’s house now
In a cinematic, cinematic fades to black
Every day is a rodeo, man
No one’s gonna change, nobody ever does
No one’s gonna change, no one’s changing for you
No one’s gonna change, nobody ever does
And I’m never gonna do what you want me to
Sittin’ there speaking Greek to a college blog
Every sentence is the same, it’s just talk, talk, talk
I am one, I admit it, of a million who has it out for these soapbox idiots
Click-clack of your high heels - you’re awake
Downstairs on a tic-tac stripper’s break
Every dancer’s trying to sync to the beat
Every motherfucker in this place tells me the same shit
This whole world’s gotta buy you a drink, man
Gotta take you to the edge and watch you throw it up
Every morning I could give a damn what you did last night
Just tell me how far to kick this can
No one’s gonna change, no one ever does
No one’s gonna change, no one is changing for you
No one’s gonna change, nobody ever does
And I’m never gonna do what you want me to
But I don’t wanna feel so jaded
Getting on a plane to work things out
When I’m alone, you're all I think about
But I’m never alone very long
They say you gotta love yourself first, that’s a trip
I’ve been hating myself since I was a little kid
I know it’s sad that game’s rained out, and the bleachers emptied out
And the turnstiles spin
All the good ones in the world, they’ve been dropping dead
Everybody's got a bullet flying at their head
I seen it coming, man
I seen it coming, man
I seen it coming, no
No one ever changes, hey, that’s the truth
No one’s gonna change, no, baby, not for you!
No one ever changes, and that’s the truth
And I’m never gonna do what you want me to
Can’t see nothing as she’s staring at the kitchen clock
Feel so bland in the eye of the storm; it’s a bedroom day
We should switch, we should pass ourselves around
Meet me at the corner; tear your dream-home down
It’s a goddamn shit-show out here now
Something to tell you about, someone told me about
I know I’m weak and this weekend you’ll find out
Yes, I sleep at the fucking whore’s house now
In a cinematic, cinematic fades to black
Every day is a rodeo, man
No one’s gonna change, nobody ever does
No one’s gonna change, no one’s changing for you
No one’s gonna change, nobody ever does
And I’m never gonna do what you want me to
Sittin’ there speaking Greek to a college blog
Every sentence is the same, it’s just talk, talk, talk
I am one, I admit it, of a million who has it out for these soapbox idiots
Click-clack of your high heels - you’re awake
Downstairs on a tic-tac stripper’s break

Gotta take you to the edge and watch you throw it up

No one’s gonna change, no one ever does
No one’s gonna change, no one is changing for you
No one’s gonna change, nobody ever does

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.
