Verse 1
Dear mother, can you hear me whinin'?
It's been 3 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

Chorus
Pay attention to the cracked streets and 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

Verse 2
A gunshot rings out at the station
another urchin snaps and left here on his own
it makes me wonder why im still here
for some strange reason its now feelin' like my home, and im never gonna go

Chorus

(long pause)

Verse 3
Dear mother can't you hear me laughin?
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
And I'm never gonna go

Chorus

Paradise!
