I heard this song last night on the Scrubs series finale.

Good song.
One of my favorite "pieces" ever is in Peter Gabriel's "Ovo", the Millenium show he did in Britain.
The whole show is fascinating, but my favorite song from it is "The Tower that Ate People":
There's a pounding 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 pounding 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 Are 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 (And on this land, we cast our fortune) Till there's no misunderstanding (And on this ground, we make our home) Make up what you lack Man feed machine Machine feed man
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building 'Til we can touch the sky

Make up what you lack
Man feed machine
