Welcome To Paradise (Live at the Electric Factory,Philadelphia, 1997) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 tremblin'
'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
C'mon!
[Chorus]
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
Let's go!
[Verse 2]
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 strangе reason it's now feeling like my home
And I'm nеver gonna go
Fuck!
[Chorus]
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
C'mon!
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 tremblin'
'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
C'mon!
[Chorus]
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
Let's go!
[Verse 2]
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 strangе reason it's now feeling like my home
And I'm nеver gonna go
Fuck!
[Chorus]
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
C'mon!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Dear mother, can you hear me laughing?
It's been six whole months 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
[Chorus]
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes (Fuck!)
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
[Outro- Spoken Word]
Welcome to two minutes from two fuckin years from too fucking long!
Think I can say "fuck" again?
One, two, three, ( Fuck!)
You're all a bunch of potty-mouth hooligans
Potty-mouths with liquor
Liquor
Drinking liquor and doing drugs!
Breaking bones!
This song's about drugs!
This one's about Geek Stink Breath!

Genius Annotation
“Welcome to Paradise” sees Billie Joe as a young man living in a crime-ridden cesspool like Oakland. It tells the story of when he left his mother’s home and how he felt facing the difficulty of living alone.
First appearing on the band’s 1991 album Kerplunk, “Welcome to Paradise” was later re-recorded to appear on Dookie.
