Thick As A Brick Lyrics - Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull

Really don't mind if you sit this one out. 

My words but a whisper, your deafness a SHOUT. 

I may make you feel but I can't make you think. 

Your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink. 

So you ride yourselves over the fields and 

you make all your animal deals and 

your wise men don't know how it feels 

to be thick as a brick. 

And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away 

In the tidal destruction the moral melee. 

The elastic retreat rings the close of play 

as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

But your new shoes are worn at the heels 

and your suntan does rapidly peel 

and your wise men don't know how it feels 

to be thick as a brick. 

And the love that I feel is so far away: 

I'm a bad dream that I just had today 

and you shake your head 

and say it's a shame. 

Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth. 

Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth. 

Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song.

See there! A son is born 

and we pronounce him fit to fight. 

There are black-heads on his shoulders, 

and he pees himself in the night. 

We'll make a man of him 

put him to trade 

teach him to play Monopoly 

and not to sing in the rain.
