Dear motherCan you hear me whining?It's been three whole weeksSince I left your homeThis sudden fear has left me trembling'Cause now it seems that IAm out there on my ownAnd I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streetsAnd the broken homesSome call it slumsSome call it niceI want to take you throughA wasteland I like to call my homeWelcome to paradise
A gunshot rings out at the stationAnother urchin snaps andLeft dead on his ownIt makes me wonder why I'm still hereFor some strange reason it's nowFeeling like my homeAnd I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streetsAnd the broken homesSome call it slumsSome call it niceI want to take you throughA wasteland I like to call my homeWelcome to paradise

Pay attention to the cracked streetsAnd the broken homesSome call it slumsSome call it niceI want to take you throughA wasteland I like to call my homeWelcome to paradise
