Welcome To Paradise

Green Day

Dear mother, can you hear me whining 
It's been three whole weeks since I have 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 the broken homes 
Some call it slums and some call it nice 
I want to take you through the waste land 
That 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 reasons it's now feeling like my home 
And I'm never gonna go 

Dear mother, can you hear me laughing 
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 now feeling like my home 
And I'm never gonna go
