Cover art for Welcome to the Machine lyrics by Pink Floyd

In your youth you tried real hard to rebel against the establishment and your parents... You didn't even realize that this was exactly what was expected from you. In reality you didnt "rebel" but did exactly what was expected. Now you have built your believe system, and it contains exactly what was fed to you without you even realizing it. Now you're integrated into the machine and dont even know it. Everything you believe you came up with yourself was really programmed into you by your TV, brainwashed friends, madison avenue, school, university, and so on. You dont even know that you're a slave.

that's what this song tells you, and you dont even understand it.

listen to the best talk radio show at : Infowars.com might help you to break out of the matrix, but don't get shocked, you may at first not like what you see... Nobody likes to hear that everything he thought was true was in fact a lie.

I completely agree with bloodomen's post.

The machine is programming that everyone receives throughout their lives. The programming is everything people believe in, hopes, goals, wishes, etc... For example, the common conception of an ideal life, go to grade school then on to college/grad school, get a job, start a family, buy a house, retire, and die. The machine is basically a path laid out to everyone, deciding your fate. It's a form of control.

The song does seem to hint at the nature vs. nurture debates. The song seems to be in the point of view of...

Not Valid
