Welcome my son,
C Em
welcome to the machine.
(C)
Where have you been?
Am Em
It's all right, we know where you've been.
C
You've been in the pipeline filling in time,
Em
Provided with toys and scouting for boys.
C
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
Em
And you didn't like school,
And you know you're nobody's fool.
