Bricks and Water

It's only bricks and water
you can't take them with you when you go
To the great party in the sky
Or when your'e roasting with the sinners below

It's only bricks and water
You can't take them with you when you go
My mortgage payment in arrears
But interest rates are low

It's only bricks and water
First time buyers stop and think
with no room to swing a cat
and the boilers on the blink

It's only bricks and water
Moldy walls drip like a burst cist
Radiators bleed from the inside out
The carpets smell of piss

It's only bricks and water
A buyers market or so they say
Financial slavery
A life time of decay

It's only bricks and water
With landscape gardens full of fun
A paddling pool, a drowned barbeque
and no fucking sun

It's only bricks and water
A status symbol for the shallow and the vain
Home is where the heart is
Mines going down the drain

It's only bricks and water
Forclosure sign on my front lawn
Relentless economic pressure
From dusk till bloody dawn

It's only bricks and water
Now it's time to act my age
lets see the politicians the royal family, the bankers
survive on minimum wage

It's only bricks and water
I'm not trying to point the blame
A western world, so called demorcratic and fair
To me seems fucking insane

It's only bricks and water
You can't take them with you when you go
To the great party in the sky
or when your'e melting with the sinners below
