The Machinist (Album Version) Lyrics

I don't cure cancer

I build Machines

I'm not a politician, I ain't got no pedigree

I don't make promises that I cant keep

I'd promise you tomorrow

But we both know talk is cheep

Cause I don't cure cancer

That's not me

I ain't got a cure

For whats been killing me

I don't make promises

That I cant keep

If I had to do it over

I wouldn't change a thing

Cause I don't Cure Cancer

But I Build Machines

Grandpa Passed these steady hands

On Down to me

Along with this guitar

And this disease

I dont' blame that man

For this Cancer in my genes

Cause with out him

Just where would I be

Cause I don't cure cancer

That's not me

I ain't got a cure

For whats been killing me

I don't make promises

That I cant keep

If I had to do it over

I wouldn't change a thing

Cause I don't cure cancer

I build Machines

Someday when I leave this world

I'll build a time machine

Come back with a cure for you

And I'll bring a cure for me

I wouldn't say these words

If I knew they weren't the truth

So you know that I'll

Be coming back to you

But I don't cure cancer

That's not me

I ain't got a cure

For whats been killing me

I don't make promises

That I cant keep

If I had to do it over

I wouldn't change a thing

Cause I don't cure cancer

But I build Machines

I build machines
