Elevator Muzik

Oh

Who needs rock and roll?
Who needs songs about saving your soul?
Plastic music, plastic food
Cellophane tunes for that synthetic mood
You got your inspiration from a vending machine
It's an audio starvation diet
Mannequins on a shopping spree
Who cares if you like it? - Buy it

It's everywhere I go, (go, go, go, go)
It programs my soul
It tells me what I need
Oh, it takes a mean lead, lead

Elevator music, (a capital idea)
Elevator music, (programmed just for you)
Elevating sales at the speed of sound
Soon you'll be shopping in Sen-Surround

Controlling your wallet, coaxing your soul
The corporate big brother - it's an overload
Get off that conveyor, that treadmill of persuasion
Jesus brings the light into every situation

It's everywhere I go, (go, go, go, go)
It programs my soul
It tells me what I need
Oh, it takes a mean lead, lead

Elevator music, (it's a capital idea)
Elevator music, (programmed just for you)
Buy, buy, sell, sell, ee-ee-ow

Elevator music - it's a failure in heaven
Elevator music - it's a subtle kind of leaven
What this world needs is music that feeds
Not elevator music
Not elevator music
Dump all that elevator music
Get rid of elevator music
