Green day - welcome to paradise

Dear mother,

Can you hear me whining?

It's been three whole weeks

Since that 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 so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets

And the 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

Pay attention to the cracked streets

And the 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

Since that 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 the 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

Green day - longview

Sit around and watch the tube,but nothing's on

Change the channels for an hour or two

Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit

I'm sick of all the same old shit

In a house with unlocked doors

And I'm fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!

And I smell like shit

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving

I sure as hell can't do it by myself

I'm feeling like a DOG IN HEAT

Barred indoors from the summer street

I locked the door to MY OWN CELL

And I lost the key

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!

And I smell like shit

I GOT NO MOTIVATION

WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION

NO TIME FOR THE MOTIVATION

SMOKING MY INSPIRATION

Sit around and watch the phone,but no one's calling

Call me pathetic,call me WHAT YOU WILL

My mother says to get a job

But she don't like the one SHE'S got

When mastur bation's lost its fun

You're fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn BORED

I'm going blind

And loneliness has to suffice

Bite my lip and close my eyes

I was slipping away to paradise

Some say,"Quit or I'll go BLIND."

But it's just a myth
