Welcome To The Machine
Welcome, my sonWelcome 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
You didn't like school
And you know you're nobody's fool
So, welcome to the machine -- Instrumental break -- 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
He always ate in the steak bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So, welcome to the machine
