Welcome to the machine dear friends
you won't be glad you came
Because though we walk inside different
we all leave carbon copies, one and the same

The echoes resonate off of the walls
of the line where they took us apart,
they gave us manufactured brains
and surgically grafted our hearts

we were taught history but from only one side
we were wrong to think differently, because all that we knew before was simply a pile of lies.

So though you may think your school pristine,
I say to you my friend, welcome to the machine.
