Lyrics
Brick by brick, who laid the first brick?
Stone by stone, tearing down a home
Brick by brick, who laid that first brick?
Who laid that first brick?
You say night and I say day
Which one is it getting in our way?
Brick by brick, who laid that first brick?
Who laid that first brick?
Gotta stop building that wall before it's too tall
Ain't never gonna see, never gonna see, each other at all
Brick by brick, who laid, who laid, who laid that first brick?
You say black and I say blue
Which one is it, what we gonna do?
Brick by brick, who laid that first brick?
Who laid that first brick?
Can we call it red, call a truce instead
Can we call it red, call a truce instead
Can we call it red, call a truce instead
Whatever we can't fix
We can always cover with another brick, with another brick, with another brick
Who laid that first brick?
Are we having too much fun?
Setting up different camps, to let this one be done
Are our heels too far dug in?
Ain't nobody going to win that way, you know
Who laid that first brick?
Who laid that first brick?
Brick by brick, who laid that first brick?
Stone by stone, tearing down a home
Brick by brick, who laid, who laid, who laid that first brick?
