Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Welcome, my son
Welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright, we know where you've been
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
So, welcome to the machine
[Verse 4]
Welcome, my son
Welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's all right we told you what to dream
[Verse 5]
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
Written by: Roger Waters
