Dear mother you hear whining It's been three whole weeks Since that I have left your home This sudden fear has left 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 Some call it slums Some call it nice I want to take you through A wasteland I like to call my Welcome to paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station Another urchin and left dead on his own It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home And I'm 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 my home Welcome to paradise
mother can you hear laughing It's been six whole months Since that I have left your home It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some reason 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 call it nice I want to take you through A wasteland I like to call home Welcome to paradise Oh paradise
