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?

A man whose home has cost forty grand

Tell me!

Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar

Knock 'em down!
