David Cooper - Soma lyrics

This is a song inspired by Captain Beefheart called "Soma". This song compares the idea that music is used as a drug In the same way that the drug "Soma" is Against the critical and cynical point of view of music Presented by Captain Beefheart in his "Trout Mask Replica". (That's right) Listening to music on your own can be seen as the highest form of narcissism, You exclude everybody from experiencing music in the same way that you do. Wouldn't Karl Marx be so proud you've found your opium in an acoustic organism, But it's okay, I've made this accompanied solitude just for you. Soma Soma Soma Enjoy this while you can Soma Soma Soma This is how music works Soma Soma Soma Enjoy this if you can Soma Soma Soma How does music work? "Synthesisers are people" some madman shouts down the street, But it's okay, you ignore him and go back to eating your Soylent Green. Your aestheticised urban space looks so tidy and neat, It's so easy to keep 1's and 0's clean. Soma Soma Soma Enjoy this while you can Soma Soma Soma This is how music works Soma Soma Soma Enjoy this if you can Soma Soma Soma How does music work? I'm pretty sure this is music, But I can never be sure, I don't really know What people think anymore. Soma Soma Soma Enjoy this while you can Soma Soma Soma This is how music works Soma Soma Soma Enjoy this if you can Soma Soma Soma How does music work?
