Stickle Bricks

Words by Jude McCaffrey
Music by Window Seats
I played outside in the muck
I fell down, in the ground
Cut my teeth and I made myself bleed, I stood up
Filled my fists, stones not sticks
You got to start out small
But in the end of it all
You can’t stay a child inside for long
Got to get it together then you got to move on
I had to hide inside my mind, I emerged uncertain
I was trapped in an adult world
My best years were wasted then I spent the next ones waiting
Building an action plan
You got to start out small
But in the end of it all
You can’t stay a child inside for long
Got to get it together then you got to move on
I won’t build it by myself, I’ve got good friends
Young upstarts, they do everything with swollen hearts
It’s tough and it got too much for us
I had to disconnect myself, I never left
I won’t be bullied, I won’t be your enemy
I won’t be your sycamore tree, I’ll not be deceived
You got to start out small
But in the end of it all
You can’t stay a child inside for long
Got to get it together then you got to move on
