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

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You’re nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying ‘Keep on digging’
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You’re nearly a laugh
You’re nearly a laugh
But you’re really a cry

Another Brick Part IV
I don’t need no walls around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on tRump’s wall
Don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
No, don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
All in all we’re all just bricks in tRump’s wall
All in all you were all just bricks in tRump’s wall

(And, Mexico is going to pay for it? Stand still, Donny!)

LYRICS
Sure does bring to mind
The blind leading the blind
Or the really cruel kind
That likes to bully the blind
Oh what a time for an underdog
To come along and slaughter the hog
“Hey you Whitehouse, how charade you are”
Living in times beyond bizarre
You think you’re a laugh
But you’re really a cry

Playing you’re divine
After selling out your soul
Praying you’re out of time
Done playing your fool

LYRICS
I tried dialing “Operator”
A message said, “Try (again) later”
Hey! What am I suppose to do
If I can’t get through?

I tried dialing “9-1-1”
They said, “We can’t help you… none.”
Guess it’s nothing new
Society’s point-of-view

Operator! The Creator
Separator — wheat from chaff
Alienator — frown from laugh

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Capo 2
G Am
Am Em

Made in the USA (Philadelphia and West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

After a conversation with my son about Richard Dawkins, I pondered on the obsolescence of a Great Operator. Songs like the Black Keys’ Little Black Submarines and Pink Floyd’s Young Lust refer to a telephone operator. Will people know what they are talking about now that phone operators are obsolete? Does the same hold true for the concept of God?

Little by little the night turns around,

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Dm                   C          Dm          C  Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,

Am               G              Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting

Am                 G                 Am     G  Am
Over the mountains watching the watcher,

Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,

Am                    G            Am       G  Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,

                        G               Am  G  Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven

Whether the sun will fall in the evening,

Neptune
There is no inept tune
Hum some. Whistle some.
Hum. Whistle.
Shoot a sonic missile

Underneath the mistletoe
where it’s right to love all
Soar above the noise and confusion
’till you surpass the Grand Illusion

The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Under the sea

The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Ability
See! See?

Neptune from the Atlantis abyss
Floats above and saves us

LYRICS
Major Tom,
What went wrong?
Did you song
Get eatin’ by the machine?

No need to punish your ma
Do you know what I mean?
Bring out your do ra me fa
Chances are you’ll go far
Come clean from the obscene
Dance with a star
You know?
Shakin’ like tremolo
Moving in stereo
(Life’s the same
It’s inside of you
It’s all about you
It’s within and without)

Life’s the same
If you’re lame
Life will never be the same
Now, I know the game
Been moved by stereo
Welcome — The New Beauty Machine.
Welcome. Now, we’re the machine
