Lyrics - Peter Gabriel - The Tower That Ate People Lyrics The Tower That Ate People Lyrics Peter Gabriel Review The Song (0) Send "The Tower That Ate People" Ringtone to your Cell (after 30 second of instrumental, in an undertone) 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, There’s a bump in the basement There’s a knocking on the wall In the pumping of the pistons I swear I heard your 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 all 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 eat man Tell it like it is (On this land, we cast our hope) Till there’s no misunderstanding You make up what you like (we make our home) Man feed machine Machine eat man
