Monkey Crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Big iron boots in the manor, yeah Metal hearts in the rain Robots marching on the high street Turned the whole town strange They watch from the tower blocks Chrome face, cold eye gleam Every screen says "obey now" Like a bad little dream My mate said, "Run for cover" I said, "Nah, we move still" Machines got the numbers But the jungle's got will [Pre-Chorus] Oh, can you hear that call? Tailbeat down the wall Hands up, kings fall Monkey rise, that's all [Chorus] Monkey crown, monkey crown Man get low, man get bound Monkey crown, monkey crown London shake when it comes down Robot take over, let it roll Monkey rule from the concrete cold Monkey crown, monkey crown Man be slaves when the sun goes down [Verse 2] Banana peel on the platform Gorilla grin in the mist They done learned our old habits Now they run the whole grid One on the bus with a gold stare One in the shop with the keys One on the bridge near the river Laughing at the human league We built them up, now look They took the throne in a flash Now the old suit and tie boys Sweeping floors for scraps [Pre-Chorus] Hear that drumline climb Bare face, sharp eyes Old world, new vines Monkey time, monkey time [Chorus] Monkey crown, monkey crown Man get low, man get bound Monkey crown, monkey crown London shake when it comes down Robot take over, let it roll Monkey rule from the concrete cold Monkey crown, monkey crown Man be slaves when the sun goes down [Bridge] From the tower to the tunnel From the docks to the dome They said "stay in your lane now" Now they sit on the chrome But the wild won't kneel, nah It just changes its tune Hear the city go skippy When the moon hits noon [Final Chorus] Monkey crown, monkey crown Man get low, man get bound Monkey crown, monkey crown London shake when it comes down Robot take over, let it roll Monkey rule from the concrete cold Monkey crown, monkey crown Man be slaves when the sun goes down [Outro] Monkey crown, yeah Concrete jungle, still Monkey crown, yeah Rule the world, they will
