Sound of Muzak – Porcupine Tree
The Sound of Muzak – Porcupine Tree
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
Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want
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
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
I absolutely love this song. It speaks the truth about how music is “going down” and “no one cares.” Not many people realize the crisis the music industry is in. By the way, Muzak is music designed to make people have longer patience, shop more, buy more, etc. It’s the music you hear in elevators. Thats why it says,
The music of the future
Will not entertain
It’s only meant to repress
And neutralize your brain
