Council Houses

Council houses
Inner city
Urban squalor
Ooh, I won't pay the rent!
On this, this concrete slum
Imprisonment

Le Corbusier
Ooh, Mies Van der Rohe
Built some great stuff, you know
Oh, they had a dream
Was of a new utopia
In fear the public screamed
More opium!

Council houses
Inner city
Urban squalor
Ooh, I won't pay the rent!
On this, this concrete slum
Imprisonment

Walter Gropius
Man, I loved your style
So did the city planners after a while
But they got it wrong
The lazy sods didn't even tried
Why put a pig a in a palace
Put it in a sty

Ooh, I won't pay the rent!
