Constructing songs
Songs that reference construction in one way or another.
Thick as a Brick. Jethro Tull
Its not so much the lyric its the presentation-Here is an example
If I Was a Carpenter - Tim Hardin (although I prefer Bob Seger's cover version)
No Pink Floyd?
"Fixing a Hole," Beatles
"What's He Building In There?" by Tom Waits.
Lots of options on Johnny Cash albums.
Destruction and construction...
Pretenders - OHIO

Grampa was a carpender by John Prine
Thick as a brick is an english term for not being very smart
Don't ask me how l know
My favorite is that old Loretta Lynn classic, "Finish the Basement, or We're Finished."
But I like deconstruction songs even better.
"Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads or "Burning House of Love" by X.
On a positive note...

Worst song ever: We Built this City.
Building the Perfect Beast
Construction Time Again is a great disc. I listen to it frequently.
Thick as a Brick has nothing at all to do with construction.
OP missed that....
Talking Heads - "More Songs About Buildings and Food"
Indigo Girls - "Hammer and a Nail"
Another brick on the wall?
Working on the highway (Bruce Springsteen).
Our house (Madness).
"Build Me Up, Buttercup" from AM radio, decades ago.

Depeche Mode has an album called 'Construction Time Again'.....
