lyrics

pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
ome 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
i'm never gonna go
dear mother can you hear me laughin'
it's been six whole months since i left your home
it makes my wonder why i'm still here
for some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
i'm never gonna go
dear mother can you hear me whinin'
it's been three whole weeks since i 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
