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, feeling in time Provided with toys and scouting for boys You bought a guitar to punish your mom You didn't like school and you know you're nobody's fool So welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine 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 dream of a big star He played a big guitar He always singed in the city park He loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine Welcome to the machine
