The Jam - Bricks and Mortar lyrics
[The Jam - Bricks and Mortar lyrics]
Cracks in the pavement
Reveal cravings for success
Why do we try to hide our past
By pulling down houses and build car parks
Windows and mirrors like a two-way glass
This is progress, nothing stands in it's path
Yellow bulldozers
The donkey jackets and JCB's
While hundreds are homeless they're
Constructing a parking space
Why do they have to knock them down
And leave the site dormant for months on end?
Who has the right to make that choice?
A man whose house has cost forty grand
Tell me!
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar
Knock 'em down!
