[chorus] Just another voiceless day Sit inside, stay alone, no one wants to talk to ya. Nothing going my way. Kinda feels like it's over without ever having started. I am talentless. I don’t even have the mind to compose my own music. So useless. Trying to get hired and all applications are refuse-ed.

[verse 1] First I applied to my dream job writing television. Then I applied to a tech job writing for a startup. Now I’m applying to anyone that needs a body. So please can anybody- COME AND SAVE ME?

[chorus] Just another voiceless day

Sit inside, stay alone, no one wants to talk to ya. Nothing going my way. Kinda feels like it's over without ever having started. I am talentless. I don’t even have the mind to compose my own music. So useless. Trying to get hired and all applications are refuse-ed.

[Verse 2] I go to school, to learn to draw. But they only teach what the teachers know. Seems the only thing they know is how to jerk themselveves off. The entire situation really blows!

[bridge] I see the path that I abandoned, And the endless drudge ahead of me, I chose to learn, really it was demanded, Well now I’m stuck at this academy. No way to get this decision remanded, So please can anybody- COME AND SAVE ME?

But, the lyrics:

There was a day I ruled the world, When I made people shout, Girls fell head over heels for me, Then we had a falling out, I laid so low, and tears rolled down, I broke it down again, Then by some kind of God’s mistake Dined with the Kings of Spain I want a spaceman, Standing in the field, Made by an AI, People will be thrilled! I want the limelight, I want to get laid, And I don’t give a shit If the artist gets paid! I want the limelight, I want to get laid, And I don’t give a shit If the artist gets paid! (See!) I rode the wave and I forgot About how much he sucks, And then he just called me one day To help him pay some tax, This happy ending, a fresh start, The crowd will love this crap, We’re going past the tipping point, And numbers spin back up I want a spaceman, Standing in the field, Made by an AI, People will be thrilled I want the limelight, I want to get laid, And I don’t give a shit If the artist gets paid! I want the limelight, I want to get laid, And I don’t give a shit If the artist gets paid! (Say!) The getting’s good, we’re on the road, Touring with some old hacks, We rule the world with our old hits, But we still need new tracks, We’re nervous and we’re getting old, So let’s run a new scheme, The cover of our record will Be designed by machines! I want a spaceman, Standing in the field, Made by an AI, People will be thrilled I want the limelight, I want to get laid, And I don’t give a shit If the artist gets paid! I want the limelight, I want to get laid, And I don’t give a shit If the artist gets paid! (SUCKERS!)

If you look up the history of Tears for Fears on Wikipedia, you'll see an absolute shitton of references to their songs and albums, particularly in the first verse. There are also references to the acrimonious split between Orzabal and Smith and the unusual reason they reunited (basically, Smith moved to the US and after several years asked Orzabal to sort out some bureaucratic issue regarding his UK property).
