"Coke Babies" is a song by English rock band Radiohead. It was released in December 1992 as a B-side to the single "Pop Is Dead" and later appeared on their EP "Itch". The lyrics to "Coke Babies" are ambiguous but can be interpreted as a commentary on the shallow and easy aspects of society. The verse begins with the word "easy" repeated four times, followed by four phrases that use the word "easy" to describe different aspects of life. The repetition of the word "easy" can be seen as a criticism of modern society's tendency to value comfort and convenience above intellectual depth and complexity.
The chorus of the song is particularly telling, as it repeats the phrase "I get up on easy love, I get up on easy questions." This repetition implies that the singer is not particularly interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships or the mysteries of the universe. Instead, they are content to take the easy way out and settle for simple answers to their questions. The song can be seen as a criticism of a society that values conformity and simplicity over creativity and critical thinking.

on No Surprises
The way i interpret the lyrics: ; Once excitement of youthful perspective,, hopes, dreams are broken, into an almost nihilistic acceptance of patterns world, we coast,….. become a part of the dull hum we swore we never would become part of. Time pulls us forward, wears and tears until we accept. Can not fight against the current yet knowing we swore we would never.
