GREEN DAY
- Welcome To Paradise Lyrics / with translationsDear Mother
Cant 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
& I'm feelin so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets & 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
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps & left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feelin like my home
& I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets & 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
Dear Mother
Can you hear me laughing?
It's been 6 whole months
Since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feelin like my home
& I'm never never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets & 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
Paradise....
Cant 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
& I'm feelin so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets & 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
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps & left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feelin like my home
& I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets & the broken homes
I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
Dear Mother
Can you hear me laughing?
It's been 6 whole months
Since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feelin like my home
& I'm never never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets & 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
