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 It makes me wonder why I'm still here

So we can start again So don't stay, just turn away And leave all these worn out streets and broken homes Suburban dreams are all we've known Go, it's all the same Maybe we should find a place where no one knows our name And we can start again
