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 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

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
