Green Day

Welcome to Paradise

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
