This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Had a bad day, as bad as they come
Time to get a real job
You gotta stop having fun
So I got a real job
I'm working nine to nine
I'm making five bucks an hour
'Til the day I die
Got a straw inside of me
And it's filled just fine
Got a straw inside of me
With the strongest wine
I'm one third passion
I'm two thirds pride
Said I used to have a life once
He said I used to like your smile once
Singing silence to the world
But the stars kept marching
He said silence to everyone
I said I'm still talking
Have you got some more
Deep inside of you
I'll always have more for me
I take a little more for me, baby
I got a picture of the way
The world has summed me up
If I could have one wish
I sure wish that
I had never grown up
I got a picture of the way
I looked when I was three
I came out laughing, screaming, dancing
I used to be free spirited
Now I'm just free of sleep
I got a burning passion in my throat
I got a burning passion inside me
I got a job that wastes my time and gift
I got a life that needs a serious lift
And all the things I wanted
Yes all the things I want
Go on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Well I go on
Silence to the world
But the stars keep marching
Silence to everyone
But I kept talking
Have you got some more
Deep inside of you
Yes I'll always have more, more me
He says all the things I want
They go so I, I take a little more
Time to get a real job
You gotta stop having fun
So I got a real job
I'm working nine to nine
I'm making five bucks an hour
'Til the day I die
Got a straw inside of me
And it's filled just fine
Got a straw inside of me
With the strongest wine
I'm one third passion
I'm two thirds pride
Said I used to have a life once
He said I used to like your smile once
Singing silence to the world
But the stars kept marching
He said silence to everyone
I said I'm still talking
Have you got some more
Deep inside of you
I'll always have more for me
I take a little more for me, baby
I got a picture of the way
The world has summed me up
If I could have one wish
I sure wish that
I had never grown up
I got a picture of the way
I looked when I was three
I came out laughing, screaming, dancing
I used to be free spirited
Now I'm just free of sleep
I got a burning passion in my throat
I got a burning passion inside me
I got a job that wastes my time and gift
I got a life that needs a serious lift
And all the things I wanted
Yes all the things I want
Go on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Well I go on
Silence to the world
But the stars keep marching
Silence to everyone
But I kept talking
Have you got some more
Deep inside of you
Yes I'll always have more, more me
He says all the things I want
They go so I, I take a little more

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
this song is soo great. it means so much, and rocks twice as much
Tegan's first real job was working at a coffee house. She obviously d it. This song was written about her experience at that job.
"singing silence to the world but the stars kept marching he said silence to everyone I said I'm still talking" I love the way those lines are sung, adds depth to it.
"i used to be free spirited now I'm just free of sleep"
that's so true!
I dont know what she mean by \"i take a little more for me\" but i pretty much a keep going, dont stop no matter what vibe from this song.
I think it's about standing up for yourself. "I'm still talking!" like you can't shut me up. Everyone takes a little more for themselves so they can get by. I really love this song. It just clicks.
this song is amazing, i don't care how old it is. i love tegan and sara, and i'm enjoying discovering their old stuff... even though everyone else is over it.
everyone is over it?? i'm definitely not =)
Charming little tune this one!
UFLO version is where its at.
