La existencia de una música de ambiente, desde el ya antiguo piano de restaurante, como el que toca aún Enrique Chia, hasta el más actual chill out, se debe a la necesidad, ya expresada en el Banquete de Platón, de una música que no llame mucho la atención mientras uno se concentra en otras actividades, tales como comer y beber o, sobre todo, discutir argumentativamente (como en el Banquete de Platón). Más aún cuando cantar, tararear o silbar en la mesa atentaría contra las buenas costumbres (Manual de Carreño dixit).

A picture paints a thousand words,
As one door closes, another door opens,
And two wrongs don't make a right
Now good things come to those who wait,
Take the highs with the lows dear,
You'll get what your given and everything's gonna be alright.
What the fuck do you know?
Just cos you're old you think your wise,
But who the hell are you though,
I didn't even ask for your advice
You wanna keep your mouth shut,
You wanna take your thoughts elsewhere,
Cos you're doing in my nut,
And do you think I care?
Say what you say,
Do what you do
Feel what you feel,
As long as it's real.
I said take what you take
And give what you give
Just be what you want,
Just as long as it's real.
Now by a horse, I once was told
That all that glitters is not gold
And all that is to fear is fear itself.
This horsey also told me,
I should keep my friends close but my enemies closer,
So as to protect myself.
What the fuck do you know?
Just cos you're old you think your wise,
But who the hell are you though,
I didn't even ask for your advice
You wanna keep your mouth shut,
You wanna take your thoughts elsewhere,
Cos you're doing in my nut,
And do u think care?
