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?
A man whose home has cost forty grand
Tell me!
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar
Knock 'em down!
