Steven Wilson
The Sound of Muzak
[Verse 1]
Hear the sound of music drifting in the aisles
Elevator prozac stretching on for miles
The music of the future will not entertain
It's only meant to repress and neutralise your brain
[Pre-Chorus]
Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want
[Chorus]
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
[Verse 2]
Now the sound of music comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you, building cheaper thrills
The music of rebellion makes you wanna rage
But it's made by millionaires who are nearly twice your age
[Pre-Chorus]
Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want
[Chorus]
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo 02:30-03:34]
[Chorus]
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
