Bricks And Mortar |
| 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 its path |
| Yellow bulldozers, the donkey jackets and J.C.B.'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? |
| WHEN MODERN HOUSES cost forty grand |
| Tell me! |
| Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar |
| Knock 'em down! |
