Welcome To Paradise

Welcome to Paradise es una canciĆ³n de la banda Green Day, que habla sobre la experiencia de Billie Joe Armstrong al mudarse a Oakland, California, y sus impresiones sobre el ambiente y la sensaciĆ³n de desplazamiento.

Dear Mother, Can you hear me whining?
It's been 3 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 all alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets, 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

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 it's 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 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 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

Pay attention to the cracked streets, 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
