Dear mother can you hear whining It's been three whole weeks Since that I have left your home This sudden fear has left me trembling Cause now it that I am out here on my own And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention the cracked streets And the broken homes Some call it slums Some call it nice I want to take you through A wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise
A rings out at the station Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own It makes me wonder why I'm still For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets And the broken homes Some call it slums Some call it nice I want to take you through A wasteland I like to call home Welcome to paradise
Dear mother can you hear me laughing It's been six whole months Since that I have left your home It makes me wonder why I'm here For some strange reason now Feeling like my home And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets And the broken homes Some call it slums Some call it I want to take you through A wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise Oh paradise
