Welcome To Paradise

dear mother, can hear me whining?

it's 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 i'm feeling so alone

pay attention to the cracked streets

and 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 feeling like my home

and i'm never go

dear mother can you hear me laughing

it's been six months since i have left my 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
