Letting loose the lunatics - wasn't the greatest of ideas
|
Giving them plans and money to squander -
|
Should have been the worst of our fears
|
The dream life luxury living was a pleasant No. 10 whim,
|
But somewhere down the line of production
|
They left out human beings
|
|
They were gonna build communities
|
It was going to be pie in the sky -
|
But the piss stench hallways and broken down lifts
|
Say the planners dream went wrong
|
|
If people were made to live in boxes
|
God would have given them string
|
To tie around their selves at bed time
|
And stop their dreams falling through the ceiling
|
|
And the public school boy computers -
|
Keep spewing out our future -
|
The house in the country designs the 14th floor
|
Old Mrs. Smith don't get out much more -
|
Coitus interruptus 'cause of next doors rows
|
Your washing gets nicked when the lights go out -
|
Baby's scream in the nightmare throng
|
But planners just get embarrassed when their plans GO WRONG!
