Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Break Up The Con[G]crete[D]
There was a [G]red brick road
where I grew up [D]on
[G]And a pretty stone wall
round a fragrant [D]lawn[C]
Fish [G]in the pond that sparkled
in the [D]dawn[G]
But it ain't no [C]more it's all
[G]gone gone [D]gone
[Chor[G]us] Whoa!

[Verse 2]
[C]Ram it! Cram [G]it! Grand Slam it!
[D]Break up the concrete,
[G]Break up the concrete
[C]Prod it! Sod it! [G]Metal Rod it!
Break up the concrete,
[C]Thwak it! Crack it! Lin[G]e back it!
[D]Break [G]up the concrete,
[C]Shake it! Bake [G]it! Earthquake [D]it!
[G]Break up the concrete

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
And the [C]de pot over there right next
to the track[G]s[D][G]
[C]That the slaves put down, while
[G]breaking [D]their backs[G]
But those Texas zoo no would
ever get into a car[D]riage[G]
Or anything that [C]might lead to [G]an[D][G][C][G][D][G]
[C]int[G]erracial marriage

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][D][G][C]
[G][D][G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][D][G][C][G]
[C][G][D]
[G][Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Now don't tell me its pro[C]gress cause
[G]that's just [D]a lie[G]
And don't [C]even try to come
with an excuse [G]why![D]
[G]We we're so bus[C]y worrying
about them [G]dropping [C]the bomb[G]
We didn't [C]notice where our enemy
was [G]really coming from!
[D]Hey boy[G]s c'mon let's do

[Verse 5]
it!
[C]Ram it! Cram [G]it! Grand

[Verse 6]
Slam it!!
[D]Break [G]up the concrete,
[C]Prod it! Sod it! Met[G]al Rod it!
Break up the con[D]crete
[G]Sha[C]ke it! Bake it![G] Earthquake it!
[D]Break [G]up the concrete
[C]Ram it! Slam [G]it! Just

[Verse 7]
cram [D]it!
One [G]more time![C][G]
Break up the con[D]crete[G][C][G]
[D]Break [G]up the concrete

[Verse 8]
Now he who laid it,
come back here and raid [D]it!

[Outro 1]
[G][D][G][C][G][D][G]
