Welcome to Paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me whinin'? It's been three whole weeks since that I have left your home This sudden fear has left me tremblin' 'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own And I'm feelin' so alone 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 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 now feelin' 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 my home Welcome to paradise Dear mother, can you hear me laughin'? It's been six whole months since that I have left your home It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason, it's now feelin' 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 my home Welcome to paradise Oh, paradise
