Mario (Your Own Way To Paradise)

Mario was a halfbreed man, he used to make out, he was poor
 Mario's mum had him under her gun, 'cos her white side did him more
 Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home
 Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home
 Chorus:
 There's only one thing I say, you've got to live day by day
 You got to find your own way to throw the dice
 You got to prove that you're tough, to take the smooth with the rough
 There's only one way you'll get to paradise
 Mario and his mother ran so far, so far away
 Daddy got out his shotgun and went to hunt them the very next day
 Finally caught up with them, said "I'm gonna shoot you down, my boy"
 Mother said, "No, don't do that, pa, you're gonna kill my only joy"
 Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy
 Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy
 chorus repeats 4x
 There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to throw the dice
 There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to paradise
