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 [bad word] 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
