Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
So welcome (Welcome)
To the machine
[Verse 3]
Welcome
To the machine
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
So welcome (Welcome)
To the machine
