Machine Born to Think - The Bonnevilles

Going down to the river

Going down to the river to die

Going down to the river

Going down to the river to die

Sitting on my shoulders

Now’s a couple of pounds of lead

I’m a machine that was born to think

Going down to the river to die

Going down to the river

Going down to the river to die

Got five pounds of mud kicking up each boot

Going down to the river

Going down to the river to die

I’m a machine that was born to think and it has gone straight to my head

Going down to the river

Going down to the river to die

Going down to the river

Going down to the river to die

Sitting on my shoulders

Now’s a couple of pounds of lead

I’m a machine that was born to think

When it has gone straight to my head

I’ve never been a king
