Break Up The Concrete Lyrics - Break Up The Concrete - Pretenders

Break Up The Concrete 

There was a red brick road where I grew up on 

And a pretty stone wall round a fragrant lawn 

Fish in the pond that sparkled in the dawn 

But it ain't no more it's all gone gone gone 

[Chorus] 

Whoa! 

Ram it! Cram it! Grand Slam it! 

Break up the concrete, Break up the concrete 

Prod it! Sod it! Metal Rod it! 

Break up the concrete, 

Thwak it! Crack it! Line back it! 

Break up the concrete, 

Shake it! Bake it! Earthquake it! 

Break up the concrete 

And the depot over there right next to the tracks 

That the slaves put down, while breaking their backs 

But those Texas zoo no would ever get into a carriage 

Or anything that might lead to an interracial marriage 

[Chorus] 

Now don't tell me its progress cause that's just a lie 

And don't even try to come with an excuse why! 

We we're so busy worrying about them dropping the bomb 

We didn't notice where our enemy was really coming from! 

Hey boys c'mon let's do it! 

Ram it! Cram it! Grand Slam it!! 

Break up the concrete, 

Prod it! Sod it! Metal Rod it! 

Break up the concrete 

Shake it! Bake it! Earthquake it! 

Break up the concrete 

Ram it! Slam it! Just cram it! 

One more time! 

Break up the concrete 

Break up the concrete 

Now he who laid it, come back here and raid it!
