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   Monster, Monster of rock   They could never bind it   Impossible to stop       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   Monster, Monster of rock   They could never bind it   Impossible to stop       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
