Pretenders, The - Break Up The Concrete Lyrics
There was a red brick road where I grew up on
And a pretty stone wall round a fragrant lawn
Fish in the pond that sparkled in the dawn
But it ain't no more, it's all gone, gone, gone
Prod it, sod it, metal rod it, break up the concrete
Thwak it, crack it, line back it, break up the concrete
Shake it, bake it, earthquake it, break up the concrete
Break up the concrete, break up the concrete
And the depot over there, right next to the tracks
That the slaves put down while breaking their backs
But those Texas zoo, no one would ever get into a carriage
Or anything that might lead to an interracial marriage
Prod it, sod it, metal rod it, break up the concrete
Thwak it, crack it, line back it, break up the concrete
Shake it, bake it, earthquake it, break up the concrete
Break up the concrete, break up the concrete
Now don't tell me it's progress 'cause that's just a lie
And don't even try to come with an excuse, why?
We were so busy worrying about them dropping the bomb
We didn't notice where our enemy was really coming from
Hey boys, c'mon let's do it
Ram it, cram it, grand slam it, break up the concrete
Prod it, sod it, metal rod it, break up the concrete
Shake it, bake it, earthquake it, break up the concrete
Ram it, slam it, just cram it, break up the concrete
One more time
Break up the concrete, break up the concrete
Now he who laid it come back here and raid it
Break up the concrete, break up the concrete
Break up the concrete, break up the concrete
Break up the concrete

Pretenders, The Break Up The Concrete Comments
very bo diddleyish
I was the 666th like...
Came here cuz of House, and the song isnt in spotify. :(
Yeah it is
this time: house, yeah.
The original Riff comes from the song "Pretty Thing" By Bo Diddley . Which is better. :) Fuckers
According to you??
I came here coz I heard the song in House MD
Yeah, me too. Hate the message, love the music. But that's like so much of what Chryssie sings. Weird that she and P.J. O'Rourke both come from Ohio.
same here
Love her stuff but Chrissie don't get that the generation before could have felt the same way about hers.
Why does this sound like faith by George Michael
Love the Pretenders.
Well, i is a very similar (maybe even the same, i´m not so aquainted with this) music genre, that could be it.
GOODbye House MD
SMILEYS :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Just me or is there some certain similarity to Mona (I Need You Baby) by the Rolling Stones?
the song would have made more sense at the end of the House episode
This just fits House M.D. perfectly.
