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 brought 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
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 brought 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

I believe the "machine" is the underworld who has infected just about every facet of our lives - government, schools, banks, media, commerce,real estate, Judicial system, law enforcement, military,hospitals. they get rid of everyone they can't control,or public has lost interest in or pissis them off - Jimmi H, Janice J, Jim M ,Jim C, Michael J. like MC hammer said can't touch this - more like can't touch them. They don't care about quality or longjevity, just the "next" BIG thing, as they know the formula already. After all what is there to do other than what they have brain washed us into doing????
