The Tower That Ate People
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 are below me digging underground
Feel the building all around me
Like a wrap of armored 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
'Til we can touch the sky
Tell it like it is
'Til 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)
'Til there's no misunderstanding
(And on this ground, we make our home)
You make up what you like
Man feed machine
Machine feed man
