The Tower That Ate People — текст песни (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

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
Till there`s no misunderstanding
You make up what you like
Man feed machine
Machine feed man

…

Brick by brick by brick by brick we`re building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we`re building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we`re building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we`re building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we`re building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we`re building
