It's about Ben and a girlfriend of his who got an abortion.

This has been asked before -- didn't it come up in the window as you typed your question?

Here's the Wikipedia page, that includes quotes from Ben:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_%28song%29
On Ben Folds Live, Folds explained: "People ask me what this song's about... I was asked about it a lot, and I didn't really wanna make a big hairy deal out of it, because I just wanted the song to speak for itself. But the song is about when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend had to get an abortion, and it was a very sad thing. And, I didn't really want to write this song from any kind of political standpoint, or make a statement. I just wanted to reflect what it feels like. So, anyone who's gone through that before, then you'll know what the song's about."

i love "Underground" the suited. it is humorous, because they used to play that song on the radio even as it first got here out, and that i hated it. yet now i appreciate that song. "Officer pleasant's boy's were given a mohawk." My different well-known songs are "military" (i appreciate the outlet 2 strains), "conflict Of Who might want to Care a lot less," and "song For The Dumped"
