Real-ly don't mind if you sit this one out My word's but a whis-per, your deaf-ness a shout I may make you feel but I can't make you think Your sperm's in the gut-ter, your love's in the si-n-k So you ride your-selves o-ve-r the f-i-i-e-l-d-s And you make all your a-ni-m-al deals And your wise men don't kno-w how it feels
To be thick as a brick
And the sand-cas-tle vir-tu-es are all swept a-way In the ti-dal des-truc-ti-on, the mo-ral me-le-e-e The e-las-tic re-treat ri-ngs the close of pl-ay As the last wave un-co-vers the new-fan-gled w-a-y But your new shoes are worn at the he-e-e-e-e-e-ls And your sun-tan does ra-pid-l-y peel And your wise men don't kn-ow how it feels
To be thick as a brick
And the love that I feel Is so far a-w-a-a-y I'm a bad dream That I just ha-had,-ha-had ha-had to-day to-day to-day to-day to-day to-day to-day And you shake your head And say it's a shame
Spin me back down the ye-ars And the da-y-s of my youth Draw the lace and black cur-tains And shut out, the whole truth Spin me down lo-ng a-ges Let them sing the so-n-g
See there! A son i-s born And we pro-nounce him f-it to fight There are black-heads on his sho-u-l-ders And as he pees him self in the night We'll make a man of him Put him to a trade, yeah, yeah, ye-e-ah Teach him to play Mo-no-po-ly And how to sing in the ra-in,ra-i-in
So you ride your-selves o-ve-r the fields And you make all your a-ni-m-al deals And your wise men don't kno-w how it feels
To be thick as a brick-
