Lyrics Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel

Don't Break This Rhythm

Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion

All this momentum keeps stealing through

Across the cornfields, through all the marshland

There's nothing gonna stop this thing

Clear the trees, burn the brushwood

Bring the diggers in, I'm gonna move this earth

Lay the big stones, put down the sleepers

Haul the steel in, I will beat this land

Don't care how but, I'm coming through here

Whatever it takes, oh

Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion

We work together in sympathy

Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion

We work together in sympathy

Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion

We work together in sympathy

Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion

We work together in sympathy

Right through these fences, cut through the stone walls

Dig out the tunnels from a solid stone

There she is, but so surrounded

All those fancy men with soft white hands

Come all this distance, that should be me there

Whatever it takes (whatever it takes), oh

Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion

We work together in sympathy

Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion

We work together in sympathy

Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion

We work together in sympathy

Don't break this rhythm, don't break this motion

We work together in sympathy
