Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining?

It's been three whole weeks
Since I 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 broken homes

Some call it the slums
Some call it nice

I want to take you through wasteland a I like to call my home

Wee 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 the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home

Wee 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 the slums
Some call it nice

I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home

Wee to paradise
