Dear mother, 
Can you hear me whining? 
It's been three whole weeks 
Since that I have left your home 
This sudden fear has left me trembling 
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own 
And I'm feeling so alone 

Pay attention to the cracked streets 
And the broken homes 
Some call it the 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 
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 

Dear mother, 
Can you hear me laughing 
It's been six whole months since 
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 the slums 
Some call it nice 
I want to take you through 
a wasteland I like to call 
my home 
Welcome To Paradise
