Lyrics

[Verse 1] Welcome, my son Welcome to the machine Where have you been? It's alright, we know where you've been You'vebeenin the pipeline,filling in time Provided with toys and'Scouting for Boys' You bought a guitar to punish your ma Andyoudidn'tlike school And youknow you're nobody'sfool So welcome to the machine [Bridge] [Verse 2] 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 [Synthesizer Solo]
