The Jam - Bricks and Mortar lyrics
[The Jam - Bricks and Mortar lyrics]
Bricks and mortar, reflecting social change
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!
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!
