It comes from the album "shine on you crazy diamond" which is all about one of the bandmembers who went insane and was put in an insane asylum. The lyrics to welcome to the machine is the doctors telling him that his life as a rock star was just a dream and now he is in the hospitol.

The machine of life. As in welcome to the boring world of redundant work. Going to work, pushing paper, driving home, beign with kids, doing it again, again, again, again.
Welcome to the loss of creation, thought, art...welcome to the bland world that all others live in.
