It started many years ago out of the black country   The seed became the embryo for all on earth to see   Like stealth the word spread mouth to mouth all corners of the land   And soon the thing began to grow and get right out of hand      From the concrete jungle the smoke, the dirt, the grime   Could not contain the hunger it grew and grew in time   Into a monster, monster of rock   They could never bind it, it vowed to reach the top      Took the sound across the seas the people stood in awe   At last the sound had come to them that they'd been waiting for   And millions roared, and millions cheered this spectacle on stage   And everyone went crazy as it bellowed out in rage      From the concrete jungle the smoke, the dirt, the grime   Could not contain the hunger it grew and grew in time   Into a monster, monster of rock   They could never bind it, it vowed to reach the top, oh   Monster, monster of rock   They could never bind it, impossible to stop   Monster of rock      From the concrete jungle the smoke, the dirt, the grime   Could not contain the hunger it grew and grew in time   Into a monster, monster of rock   They could never bind it, it vowed to reach the top,   Monster, monster of rock   They could never bind it, impossible to stop, stop      Monster, monster of rock   They could never bind it, it vowed to reach the top   Monster, monster of rock   They could never bind it, impossible to stop
