Feel Good Inc.
Jack The Envious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 has freely
Turned 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
Care bear rappin' in harder this year
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
Until you're cheddar head
And watch the way I navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

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 has freely
Turned forever you and me
Windmill
Windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

(...)

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 has freely
Turned forever you and me
Windmill
Windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

(...)

Don′t stop, get it, get it
Peep how your captain′s in it, steady
Watch me navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Don't stop, get it, get it




Peep how your captain′s in it, steady
Watch me as I fucking navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Feel Good Inc." by Jack The Envious depict a dystopian city that is on the verge of collapse. The phrase "city's breaking down on a camel's back" can be seen as a metaphor for the fragility of the system, comparing it to a camel carrying too much weight. The people in this city seem to be lost and clueless, as they "just have to go 'cause they don't know whack". Despite the chaos, the singer finds some appeal in the scene, as people march on the streets "damned and free". The lyrics also touch upon themes of isolation and lack of sleep, as the singer longs for the sound of the message beep and dreams of kissing.


The chorus of the song features the phrase "windmill for the land", which, according to the band's interpretation, signifies unity and hope for a brighter future. The song also features rap verses that describe the chaos and destruction of the city through imagery of hazmats and fast cats, and asserts the power of the singer and their crew to overcome it all. The song ends with the repeated phrase "don't stop, get it, get it" as a call to action, urging the listener to persevere and strive for their goals.
