Green Day — Welcome To Paradise Kerplunk

[Verse 1] Dear mother, can you hear me whining? It's 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 I'm feeling so alone! [Chorus] Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes Some call it slums, some call it nice I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise [Verse 2] A gunshot rings out at the station Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own It makes me wonder why I'm still herе For some strange reason, it now is feeling likе my home And I'm never gonna go! [Chorus] Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes Some call it slums, some call it nice I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] Dear mother, can you hear me laughing? It's been six whole months since that 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! [Chorus] Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes Some call it slums, some call it nice I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise [Outro] Oh, paradise...
