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