Welcome to paradise

welcome to paradise


dear mother,
can you hear me whining?
its been three whole weeks
since i left your home
this sudden fear has left me trembling
cause now it seems that i am out here on my own
and im feeling so alone

pay attention to the cracked streets
and 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 im still here
for some strange reason its now
feeling like my home
and im never gonna go

pay attention to the cracked streets
and 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





dear mother, can you hear me laughing

it makes me wonder why im still here
for some strange reason its now
feeling like my home
and im never gonna go

pay attention to the cracked streets
and 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
