Nobody can tell you, the name of the tune that's playing
The purpose--to sell you
Cause they think you'll spend
If they just set the mood

And so you shop to their chosen Muzak
Science selects all the songs
Fake, some say is this Muzak
But most folks aren't aware of just what's going on

Sometimes I feel lonely
The only one here who hears it
With melodies only
To play :"Name thet Tune" is the hardest thing to do

Each day they play one more round of Muzak
Unheard subliminal songs
When I sing to the Muzak
Everyone stares like I've done something wrong

So, if you don't quite understand,
And if you don't really hear it
Well, that's the way it's planned

Ceilings go on playing Muzak
Research determines the song
I'll put words to the Muzkk
So that everyone now can all sing along

Speakers are still full of Muzak
Droning a strange wordless song
(Fade out)
