Welcome To Paradise

Dear Mother Cant you hear me whining? It's been 3 whole weeks Since I have left your home This sudden fear has left me trembling 'cause now it seems that I am out here on my own & I'm feelin so alone Pay attention to the cracked streets & the broken homes Some call it slums some call it nice I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise A gunshot rings out at the station Another urchin snaps & 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 & I'm never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets & the broken homes Some call it slums some, call it nice I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise Dear Mother Can you hear me laughing? It's been 6 whole months Since 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 & I'm never never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets & the broken homes Some call it slums, some call it nice I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise Paradise....
