Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining?
It´s been trhee whole weeks
Since that i have left your home
This suden 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 the slums
som 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 I´ts now
feeling like my homes
and I´m never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked strets
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

Dear mother,
Can you hear me laughing
it´s been six whole months since
Since that i have left your home
It makes me wonder why I´m still here
for some strange reason i´ts now
feeling like my home
And I´m never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets
and broken homes
some call it slums
some callit nice
I want to take you through
a wasteland I like to call
my home
Welcome to paradise
