Welcome to Paradise

Lyrics

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 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 my home
 Welcome to paradise
 Oh, paradise
