Well, perhaps you could find another job.

Or, just concentrate on your work, and just think about a music song. Pretend it is playing. The reason no music is allowed is because it is dangerous to be distracted when operating heavy machinery.

We all have to learn to cope without the things we love. Just put it out of your mind and know that you will get to listen to the music at your lunch break and when you get home.
