[Intro]
(Welcome my son, welcome my son)

[Verse 1]
Welcome my son (welcome my son), welcome to the machine
Where have you been son?
It's alright we know, where you've been (you've been, you've been)

[Verse 2]
You've been in the pipeline, filling with time (time)
Provided with toys, scouting for boys
You bought a guitar, to punish your ma (your ma, your ma, your ma)
You didn't like school, I know you're nobody's fool

[Chorus]
So welcome, to the machine
So welcome, to the machine

[Verse 3]
Welcome my son (welcome my son), wеlcome to the machine
What did you drеam of, it's alright we told you, what to dream
You dreamed of a big star (dreamed of a big star), you played a mean guitar
Always ate at the steak bar, loved to drive, his jaguar

[Chorus]
So welcome, to the machine
So welcome, to the machine
[Outro]
Welcome my son (welcome my son), welcome to the machine
Welcome, machine, machine
