Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found one brick in the wall
By the loading dock at dawn
Pocket full of bent-up coins
And a lunch break nearly gone
He said, “Boy, keep your head down”
With a cough and a crooked grin
His boots were split at the toe
Still, he walked like a place he’d been
[Pre-Chorus]
Time keeps taking names
Money don’t stay long
Poor man’s hands get tired
But they keep on keeping on
[Chorus]
Brick in the wall
Brick in the wall
Poor man’s soul still standing tall
Brick in the wall
Brick in the wall
We break, we bend, but we don’t fall
[Verse 2]
Mama counted every bill
Like it might turn into rain
Said, “One day, son, you’ll learn
What it costs to carry pain”
I watched the foreman laugh
As the trucks rolled past our gate
You can spend your whole damn life
Chasing what you can’t inflate
[Pre-Chorus]
Time keeps taking names
Money don’t stay long
Poor man’s hands get tired
But they keep on keeping on
[Chorus]
Brick in the wall
Brick in the wall
Poor man’s soul still standing tall
Brick in the wall
Brick in the wall
We break, we bend, but we don’t fall
[Bridge]
When the rain hit the tin roof hard
And the rent came due again
We sang to the empty room
Like a scar that learned to bend
Not rich in gold
Not dressed in shine
But we got that stubborn fire
That keeps us alive
[Final Chorus]
Brick in the wall
Brick in the wall
Poor man’s soul still standing tall
Brick in the wall
Brick in the wall
We break, we bend, but we don’t fall
Brick in the wall
Brick in the wall
That old hard heart still carries all
