lyrics

Machine

I got a decent education
kicking an old bass drum
trouble seemed to find me easy
in my little town when I was young

I’ve got some work in Kansas City
I’m going to need that gasoline
oh lord hope you forgive me
for getting caught up in that machine

high tension steel around me
I was drawn in to the cause
with a blade the drill the oil spill
all of mother natures laws

I’ve got some work in Kansas City
so I’m going to need that gasoline
I hope that you forgive me
for getting caught up in that machine

Oh I I’d like to change the world
I’d like to hit on that high road
but unbelievable refractions
distorted everything I know

there’s men walking on this planet
who are lucky to be alive
because I’m a gentleman with a lot to lose
the only reason they survive

I’ve got some work in Kansas City
I’m going to need that gasoline
oh Lord I hope you forgive me
for getting caught up in that machine

Oh I want to change the world
I want to hit on that high road
I want to walk the streets of heaven
but I don’t want to sell my soul
