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! |
