Welcome my sonWelcome to the machineWhere have you been?It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipelineFilling in timeProvided with toys and scouting for boysYou brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like schoolAnd you know you're nobody's foolSo welcome to the machine
Welcome my sonWelcome to the machineWhat did you dream?It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big starHe played a mean guitarHe always ate in the Steak BarHe loved to drive in his JaguarSo welcome to the machine
