Welcome my son
~#**************#~
Welcome to the machine
~#**************#~
Where have you been?
~#**************#~
Its all right, we know where youve been
~#**************#~
Youve been in the pipeline filling in time
~#**************#~
Provided with toys and scouting for boys
~#**************#~
You bought a guitar to punish your ma
~#**************#~
You didnt like school and you know youre nobodys fool
~#**************#~
[Refrain]

So welcome to the machine

What did you dream?
~#**************#~
Its all right, 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
