City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
So while you fill the streets, it's appealing to see
You won't get undercounted 'cause you're damned and free
You got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they got her kissing, 'cause I don't get sleep, no
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Laughin' gas these hazmats, fast cats
Linin' 'em up like ass cracks
Play these ponies at the track
It's my chocolate attack
Shit, I'm steppin' in the heart of this here (yeah)
Care Bear rappin' in harder this year (yeah)Watch me as I gravitate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yo, we gon' ghost town this Motown
With yo' sound, you in the blink
Gon' bite the dust, can't fight with us
With yo' sound, you kill the Inc.
So don't stop, get it, get it (get it)
Until you're cheddar headed
And watch the way I navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good

Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride

Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land

The lyrics to "Feel Good Inc." are a commentary on society and the way it functions, suggesting that people are blindly moving along in a direction they don't necessarily understand or agree with. The "city" is "breaking down on a camel's back," suggesting a lack of stability or foundation in society. The people are described as "bad and free," suggesting that they are not necessarily happy or fulfilled, but they are still living their lives. The "new horizon" they are moving toward is said to have an "ephemeral style," suggesting that it is shallow and fleeting. The town they live in is described as "melancholy," and they "never smile." The singer of the song wants to hear the "message beep" indicating that their dreams and aspirations are still alive, but they can't even sleep because they are so overrun with the struggles of everyday life.
The chorus, featuring the repeated phrase "windmill, windmill for the land," is a call to action, suggesting that people need to work together to make a change. The idea of "learning forever hand in hand" suggests that this is an ongoing process, and it will take time for people to truly understand each other and work together. The singer repeats that "love is free" and urges people to "turn forever" with each other, suggesting that unity and love are the keys to overcoming the problems in society.
