"Welcome To The Machine" Lyrics

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
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 a steak bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine
