Welcome, my son, welcome to the Machine.
Where have you been? It’s all right, we know where you’ve been.
You’ve been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
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 all right, 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.

Το Welcome to the Machine είναι το δεύτερο κομμάτι του δίσκου Wish You Were Here των Πινκ Φλόιντ, που κυκλοφόρησε το 1975. Το βιντέακι είναι από τον Λονδρέζο γελοιογράφο Τζέραλντ Σκαρφ και προβαλλόταν στις ζωντανές εκτελέσεις του τραγουδιού. (Αργότερα ο Σκαρφ δούλεψε και τα καρτούν του Τοίχου.)
Το είδα γραμμένο *Well came to the Machine
και σκέφτηκα ότι κάποιοι δεν έχουν ανακαλύψει το ίντερνετ.
