| 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. |
