There's an instrumental/elevator music song from the 70s (I think) that immediately popped into my head that would be perfect, but since it has no lyrics I have no way to google it!

It sounds a lot like it should be a Kenny G song, but I'm guessing it's before his time. And now it's driving me crazy!!

What I need is a good defense, 'cause I'm feeling like a criminal. And I need to be redeemed to the one I've sinned against.

I go crazy 'cause my folks are so fucking rich
Have to score when I get that rich white punk itch
Sounds real classy, living in a chateau
So lonely, all the other kids will never know
We're white punks on dope

Mom & dad live in Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
Can't clean up, though I know I should
White punks on dope
White punks on dope

Lyrics
I hear somethin' sayin'
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin'
(Hooh aah) (hooh aah)
(Hooh aah) (hooh aah)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Can't ya hear them singin'
Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days
I'm goin' home see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin', mm
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
My, my work is so hard
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard

Songwriters: Sam Cooke

wished with their other choices they had one which said "Press 3 for silence until we reach your party." but of course they didn't.

I posted this on DU last March, but I can't take credit for it. Somebody posted it on Twitter and I grabbed it.
