Broken Bricks lyrics

Well, have you been to the broken bricks, girl?

Snuck down through the cyclone fence

Past the caution tape and the security gate

Backwards to the break room bench

Well, there was a little corner where you first got kissed

And felt your boyfriend's fist and made the company list

And there's a little spot where your dad ate lunch

And your brother landed his first punch, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, now you've been to the broken bricks, girl

Seen the barrels that they've left behind

Seen the machine that got aluminum clean

And cut tape from the caution sign

I've broken two window panes

Just a rusty colored rain that drives a man insane

You tried jump over water but you land in oil

Climbed the metal of a broken crane, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't go to the broken bricks, girl

It's not a place that you want to be

Think about the spot your father spent his life

Demolition calls it building C

Demolition calls it building C, now

Demolition calls it building C, now, yeah
