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
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
So welcome to the machine
