Welcome my son Welcome to the machine Where have you been? (It's alright we know where you've been) ♪ You've been in the pipeline Filling in time Provided with toys and Scouting for Boys You bought a guitar to punish your ma And you didn't like school And you know you're nobody's fool So welcome to the machine ♪ Welcome my son Welcome to the machine What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream You dreamed of a big star He played a mean guitar And he always ate in the steak bar And he loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome to the machine ♪ I don't care Get the fuck out of my house
