Dear mother, can you hear me whinin’? It’s been three whole weeks since I have left your home This sudden fear has left me tremblin’ Cause now it seems 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 slum 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 still now feeling like my home I’m never gonna go
Dear mother, can you hear me laughin’? It’s been six whole months since I have left your home It makes me wonder why I’m still here For some strange reason it’s still now feeling like my home I’m never gonna go
