Welcome to the Machine Pink Floyd 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 & Scouting for Boys You bought a guitar to punish your ma You didn't like school, and ya know you're nobody's fool So welcome... to the machine! [Interlude] 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 at the steak bar He loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome... to the machine!
