(Check it out now!) Is this the zone for the monotone? Is this the place where the fun is gone? The Council’s got a clip-board and a frown They’re stacking up the boxes all over town Grey on grey, yeah they’re blocking the light Stacking up the misery, day and night! (Ooh-ooh! Aah-aah!) It’s a superficial trickle to the sky A middle-manager’s vanity lie! (Sample: "Permission Denied!") (Sample: "I don't think so!") Stacked houses! (Don’t do it!) Stack them higher! (Burn the wire!) Stack them higher, block out the sun The Council’s work is never done! One on one, till the Monkey comes round Stack them up till they hit the ground! (Right about now!) Higher and higher, addicted to the bricks The Planning Committee is up to their tricks! But Monkey’s in the basement, Monkey’s got a plan Monkey’s got a knob and a master plan! They’re blind to the cracks, they’re blind to the beat Monkey’s got the squelch to melt the street! (Squelch it, Monkey!) It’s a superficial trickle to the sky A beige solution for a beige-colored guy! (Sample: "Would you like a permit with that?") (Sample: "No way!") Stacked houses! (Don’t do it!) Stack them higher! (Monkey’s on fire!) Stack them higher, block out the sun The Council’s work is never done! One on one, till the Monkey comes round Stack them up till they hit the ground! (Sample: "Listen to the Monkey!") (Deep 303 resonance build-up) Higher and higher, addicted to the climb But the Council’s running out of time! I see the collapse of the big and the tall Monkey’s got his finger on the wrecking ball! (Ooh-ooh-ooh-aah-aah-aah!) (Sample: "Dumb it up!") Stacked houses, crashing down! Stacked houses, feed the ground! Tumbled down, reveal the sun Monkey’s having all the fun! Stacked houses, they all fall down Monkey is the King of the town! (Sample: "That’s a nice bit of planning, that.") (Hahahahahahah) (Record stop)
