The tower that ate people

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 are 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
Till there´s no misunderstanding
Make up what you like
Man fed 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
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 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
Till there´s no misunderstanding
Make up what you like
Man fed machine
Machine feed man
