Welcome to the Machine Lyrics

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

What is the Meaning of Welcome to the Machine?

Ah, the sweet sound of cynicism! Pink Floyd's musical masterpiece isn't just a treat for the ears; it's a biting satire on the music industry's assembly line. The song paints a grim picture of artists being churned out like factory products, stripped of their individuality and spoon-fed dreams tailored to sell. From the moment you strum your first chord, you're part of 'the machine'—a system that cares more about profit than creativity. So buckle up, young dreamer, your journey through this mechanical beast promises fame with a side of existential crisis! Welcome indeed.
