WELCOME TO PARADISE


Dear mother,                             A gunshot rings out at the
  Can you hear me whining?                 station 
It's been three whole weeks              Another urchin snaps and
Since I left your home                     left dead on his own 
This sudden fear has left                It makes me wonder why
 me trembling                              I'm still here 
Cause now it seems that I                For some strange reason 
 am out here on my own                    it's now 
And I'm feeling so alone                 Feeling like my home  
Pay attention to the cracked             And I'm never gonna go
   streets
And broken homes                         Dear Mother, can you hear  
Some call it the slums                     me laughing
Some call it nice                        It's been six whole months
I want to take you through                since
 a wasteland I like to call              I have left your home
 my home                                 It makes me wonder why  
Welcome to Paradise	                  I'm still here
                                         For some reason
                                          it's now
                                          Feeling like my home
                                         And I'm never gonna go.
