It's not so much subliminal as seductive and safe
It lets you think you're keeping your illusions of taste

We're the music selling you the fancy cars
We're the background while you're drinking at the bar
This music is designed for air play and utility
Pitching you the promise of your ultimate conformity

Wake up

We're the soundtrack to the money changing hands
We're the sedative slipped to you by subtle plans
Give us simple music and none of the ideas
We don't want that sad distraction from the peace of our careers

Wake up
