Pretenders - Break Up the Concrete lyrics
[Pretenders - Break Up the Concrete lyrics]
There was a red brick road where I grew up on
And a pretty stone wall round a fragrant lawn
Fish in the pond that sparkled in the dawn
But it ain’t no more it’s all gone gone gone
Whoa! Ram it! Cram it! Grand Slam it!
Break up the concrete
Prod it! Sod it! Metal Rod it!
Break up the concrete
Thwack it! Crack it! Lineback it!
Break up the concrete
Shake it! Bake it! Earthquake it!
Break up the concrete (break up the concrete)
Break up the concrete
Deck deck deck deck degga degga degga degga
And the depot over there right
Next to the tracks that the slaves put down
While breaking their backs
But those texas zoo no would
Ever get into a carriage
Or anything that might lead
To an interracial marriage
Deck deck deck deck degga degga degga degga
Now don’t tell me it's progress
Cause that’s just a lie
And don’t even try to come
With an excuse why!
We were so busy worrying about
Them dropping the bomb
We didn’t notice where our enemy
Was really coming from!
(Hey boys c’mon let’s do it)
Ram it! Cram it! Grand Slam it!
Break up the concrete
Prod it! Sod it! Metal Rod it!
Break up the concrete
Shake it! Bake it! Earthquake it!
Break up the concrete
Ram it! Slam it! Just cram it!
Break up the concrete one more time!
Break up the concrete break up the concrete
Now he who laid it
Come back here and raid it!
Break up the concrete break up the concrete
Break up the concrete break up the concrete
Deck deck deck deck degga degga degga degga
And a pretty stone wall round a fragrant lawn
Fish in the pond that sparkled in the dawn
But it ain’t no more it’s all gone gone gone
Whoa! Ram it! Cram it! Grand Slam it!
Break up the concrete
Prod it! Sod it! Metal Rod it!
Break up the concrete
Thwack it! Crack it! Lineback it!
Break up the concrete
Shake it! Bake it! Earthquake it!
Break up the concrete (break up the concrete)
Break up the concrete
Deck deck deck deck degga degga degga degga
And the depot over there right
Next to the tracks that the slaves put down
While breaking their backs
But those texas zoo no would
Ever get into a carriage
Or anything that might lead
To an interracial marriage
Deck deck deck deck degga degga degga degga
Now don’t tell me it's progress
Cause that’s just a lie
And don’t even try to come
With an excuse why!
We were so busy worrying about
Them dropping the bomb
We didn’t notice where our enemy
Was really coming from!
(Hey boys c’mon let’s do it)
Ram it! Cram it! Grand Slam it!
Break up the concrete
Prod it! Sod it! Metal Rod it!
Break up the concrete
Shake it! Bake it! Earthquake it!
Break up the concrete
Ram it! Slam it! Just cram it!
Break up the concrete one more time!
Break up the concrete break up the concrete
Now he who laid it
Come back here and raid it!
Break up the concrete break up the concrete
Break up the concrete break up the concrete
Deck deck deck deck degga degga degga degga
