Bricks And Mortar

Jam

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!
