Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

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 your time
Provided with toys and Scouting for Boys
You bought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school
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
