text: Dear mother, can you hear me whining?
  Its 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 Im feeling 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 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 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 laughing?
  Its been 6 whole months since that I have left your home
  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 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
