[Bb]Letting loose the [F]lunatics -
[Bb]Wasn't the greatest [F]of ideas.
[C]Giving them plans and [F]money to squander -
Should have been [Eb]the [Dm]worst of our [F]fears.
[Bb]And the dream life, [F]luxury living
[Bb]Was a pleasant [F]number ten whim,
[C]But somewhere down the [F]lines of prduction,
[Eb]They left out [Dm]human [Bb]needs.
[A]They were gonna build communities -
It was [Dm]going to be [C]pie in [A]the sky -
But the [Cm]p**s stench hallways and [F]broken down lifts say,
The [Eb]planners [Dm]dream went [Bb]wrong.
F Bb (x2)
[A]If people were meant to live in boxes -
[Dm]God would have [C]given [A]them string -
[Cm]To tie around them[F]selves at bed time -
And stop their [Eb]dreams falling [Dm]through the [Bb]ceiling.
[Bb]And the public [F]schoolboy computers -
[Bb]Keep spewing [F]out our future -
The [Bb]house in the country designs the [F]14th floor.
[Bb]Old Mrs. Smith don't get [F]out much more.
[Bb]Coitus interruptus 'cos of [F]next doors rows.
And [Bb]your washing gets nicked when the [F]lights go out.
[C]Baby's scream in their [F]nightmare throng -
But the [Eb]planners just get em[Dm]barrased when their [Eb]plans [Dm]go [Bb]wrong.
Ah, the [Eb]planners get em[Dm]barrased when their [Eb]plans [Dm]go [Bb]wrong.
Ah, the [Eb]planners get em[Dm]barrased when their [Eb]plans [Dm]go [Bb]wrong.
