The Tower That Ate People Lyrics - Peter Gabriel

There's a bump in the basement 

There's a knocking on the wall 

In the pumping of the pistons 

I swear I heard you call 

There's a bump in the basement 

There's a hole in the floor 

There's a guard in the garden 

Locking up the door 

There's a rumble in the floorboards 

No shutting out the sound 

And the workers down below me 

Digging underground 

Feel the building all around me 

Like a wrap of armoured skin 

But the more we are protected 

The more we're trapped within

We're building up and up. 

We're building up and up. 

We're building up and up. 

We're building up and up.till we can touch the sky. 

Tell it like it is 

Till there's no misunderstanding 

When you strip it right back 

Man feed machine 

Machine feed man 

Tell it like it is (And on this land, we cast our fortune) 

Till there's no misunderstanding (And on this ground, we make our home) 

You make up what you like 

Man feed machine 

Machine feed man
