BRICK BY BRICK
Rough hands
Dirty work
Know I’m sweating
By the stains on my shirt
Good men
In bad times
They think they own me
But this city is mine
I gotta’ burnin’ desire
To lift our legacy higher
Workin’ hard to survie
Just to get out alive
CHORUS
Brick by brick
They try to knock us down
With a wreckin ball
Brick by brick
Blue collar men
Stand American tall
Lyin’ thieves
In glass homes
We built a nation
While the bosses were stoned
Give blood
To get paid
We work our ass off
Every night and day
I gotta’ burnin’ desire
To lift our legacy higher
Workin’ hard to survive
Just to get out alive
CHORUS
Brick by brick
They try to knock us down
With a wreckin ball
Brick by brick
Blue collar men
Stand American tall
