Dear mother, can you hear me whinin’?
It’s been three whole weeks since I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me tremblin’
Cause now it seems I am out here on my own
And I’m feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I’m still here
For some strange reason it’s still now feeling like my home
I’m never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise
Dear mother, can you hear me laughin’?
It’s been six whole months since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I’m still here
For some strange reason it’s still now feeling like my home
I’m never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise
