Welcome to Paradise

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
