lyrics

Red clay
4 x 2 x 8
Cooked at 2,000 degrees

4 pounds
5 ounces
Don't look like much to me

Your house
My house
Sing Sing the big house

Starts with
One brick
Laid on the ground

White sand
Blowtorch
One pane of glass

Picture
Window
Well built to last

Paper
Wrapped 'round
Tied up with rope

One brick
Flies high
Window gets broke

Run free
Lost souls
Out from the cell

Clean up
Then help
Free somebody else

Start with
Those tools
You already hold

One brain
One brick
One careful throw
