Brick by Brick

Verse 1

Another handshake in a marble hall

Promises written on a bathroom wall

They smile and wave from the TV screen

Living in a world I've never seen

Pre-Chorus

I see the numbers

I see the lies

They never look me in the eyes

Chorus

Give me back the change you stole

From the pockets of the working soul

You sit up high and you look down low

But we're the ones who'll never fold

Verse 2

My father worked his hands to bone

Paid his taxes on a loan

They cut the schools and raised the rent

While their offshore money went

Pre-Chorus

I see the numbers

I see the lies

They never look me in the eyes

Chorus

Give me back the change you stole

From the pockets of the working soul

You sit up high and you look down low

But we're the ones who'll never fold

Bridge

Brick by brick the walls come down

Silence spreads across this town

But I won't whisper anymore

I'll be the knock upon your door

Breakdown

You took the food from my table

You made the rules when you're able

Tick tock the clock is turning

Every bridge you burned is burning

Chorus

Give me back the change you stole

From the pockets of the working soul

You sit up high and you look down low

But we're the ones who'll never fold
