Brick By Brick - John Vento

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 **** 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
