Dear mother,Can you hear me whining?It's been three whole weeksSince that I have left your homeThis sudden fear has left me tremblingCause now it seems that I am out here on my ownAnd I'm feeling so alonePay attention to the cracked streetsAnd the broken homesSome call it the slumsSome call it niceI want to take you througha wasteland I like to callmy homeWelcome To ParadiseA gunshot rings out at the stationAnother urchin snaps and left dead on his ownIt makes me wonder why I'm still hereFor some strange reason it's nowFeeling like my homeAnd I'm never gonna goPay attention to the cracked streetsAnd the broken homesSome call it slumsSome call it niceI want to take you througha wasteland I like to callmy homeWelcome To ParadiseDear mother,Can you hear me laughingIt's been six whole months sinceSince that I have left your homeIt makes me wonder why I'm still hereFor some strange reason it's nowFeeling like my homeAnd I'm never gonna goPay attention to the cracked streetsAnd the broken homesSome call it the slumsSome call it niceI want to take you througha wasteland I like to callmy homeWelcome To Paradise
