lyrics

Chasing you on down the hill
Doesn't take any effort, doesn't take any skill
Can you teach a bird to fly
Or does it know to touch the sky
Got bruises from this bumpy ride
But I know my place is by your side

Machines are made to work
And pigs to love the mud
And I was made to be your brother
Bound by blood, can be no other

And it does not matter if I'm here by choice or not
Cause in the end what you get is what you've got
I know you want to fight it don't you
But you can't be rid of me if you want to
So kick and scream if you like

Machines are made to work
And pigs to love the mud
And I was made to be your brother
Bound by blood, can be no other

Machines are made to work
And pigs to love the mud
And I was made to be your brother
Bound by blood, can be no other

I will be no other
