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 (A capital idea)
Elevator music (Programmed just for you)
Elevating sales at the speed of sound
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
