“Thanks for Nothing” fits in with Whibley’s usual theme of anti-conformity, with him and Baksh singing about how they’ll never fit in with normal schools or careers.
[Verse 1]
I'll never take part in the growing population
Or waste my time with further education
Forget what we know, it's just a big show
What they want to control
So jaded, frustrated, it's all so complicated
Fashion no passion surrounds me
[Chorus]
All I know is I've heard this all before, reality's a bore
You ask me to believe in something fake
Well I, can't bring myself to do what you want me to
This is who we are and nothing's going to change
Nothing's going to change
[Verse 2]
I can't take part in the businessman illusion
I'll take my chance in the real world confusion
Don't blame us, who do we trust
When they're so dishonest
No patience, this nation's obsessed with exploitation
Lying denying surrounds me
[Chorus]
All I know is I've heard this all before, reality's a bore
You ask me to believe in something fake
Well I, can't bring myself to do what you want me to
This is who we are and nothing's going to change
[Bridge]
Don't think you can ignore us
Don't tell me that we're to blame
Don't pick our future for us
Or act like we're the same
[Chorus]
All I know is I've heard this all before, reality's a bore
You ask me to believe in something fake
Well I, can't bring myself to do what you want me to
This is who we are and nothing's going to change
[Outro]
Thanks for nothing
(I've heard this all before)
Thanks for nothing
(reality's a bore)
Thanks for nothing
(i'll never be the same)
Thanks for nothing
(and nothing's gonna change)
