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 your time Provided with toys and Scouting for Boys You bought a guitar to punish your ma And you didn't like school You know you're nobody's fool
So 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 dreamed of a big star He played a mean guitar He always ate in the Steak Bar He loved to drive in his Jaguar
