lyrics

By the time the cranes unfold
The tale’s been sold
On cardboard panels
Be sure to stand on by
And nod at the guys
While the dozers gambol
Feel the horizon change
A private game
No renter’s ramble
Collect your helpless thoughts
’Cause you’ve been caught
In the big buck scramble

Brick by brick
Trick by trick
Brick by brick
It gets done
Another house for Faust
And then another one

Wontcha go ahead and doze
The little we own
Our little flirtation
Just go ahead and build
Stuffed to the gills
With your legislation
What’s a tent anyways
When you get paid
Seven hundred salvations?
To find a spot nowhere
And ease our cares
Emancipation

Brick by brick
Trick by trick
Brick by brick
It gets done
Another house for Faust
And then another one

Who’ll be good enough to share
The same hot air
We heard at twenty?
Who’ll chalk it up to fate
And lie in wait
With the buildings empty?
Who’s got a petty want
A heartless taunt
Or a tone-deaf ditty?
A vision

Where home is bought
Like a fish you caught
In a far-flung, far-off
Next door, next day
Land of plenty

Backroom deals
Mayoral appeals
Peel the veneer
And it gets done
Another house for Faust
And then another one

Brick by brick
Trick by trick
Brick by brick
It gets done
Another house for Faust
And then another one
