Grace Petrie - Tonne of Bricks lyrics

On that cold December day
From a rooftop threw your liberty away
Do you regret your choice to stay
And say, "let justice hit me where it may"?

This kind of violence is not
Tolerated outside the Bullingdon club
No compassion to display
Oh, I have nothing left to say

After a scene in the judge's chambers
Where a whisper could be heard
The press will have a field day, old boy
So mum's the word
They talk in a secret language
That no one understands
A nod, a wink, a discreet look
And the shaking of hands

Well I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
And show these kids they just
Can't fuck with politics

Only got yourself to blame
No examples here are being made
For all the newspaper shame
Oh, how quickly they forgot your name

After a scene in the judge's chambers
Where a whisper could be heard
The press will have a field day, old boy
So mum's the word
They talk in a secret language
That no one understands
A nod, a wink, a discreet look
And the shaking of hands

Well I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
And show these kids they just
Can't fuck with politics with politics, woah

And how quickly thrown were
All your judges' stones
Oh how quick the obliteration
Of your reputation so detested, so deplored
So unyieldingly abhorred
By elected officials who themselves
So above board
They had recently committed fraud

And you'll never hear me say that
Lady justice wept that day
But as for lady accountability
Oh, I might imply she had
Something in her eye

Oh, I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
And show these kids they just
Can't fuck with politics

I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
And show these kids they just
Can't fuck with politics
