"Welcome to Paradise" Lyrics:
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 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

[@ChipmunkAsylum]

I think this is my favorite Green Day song. Great songwriting, harmonies, and a sweet bass solo, written all the way back in ‘92.

[@Anon24052]

Actually it was written by 1991, because this song is also on their ‘91 album, Kerplunk

Tre one of the best drummers out there. Timing and speed just awesome. This is one of my favorite bands grew up listening to them in high school Live 105 bay area. Dang time flies so fast.

[@scottd2404]

Haven't heard anyone rip through triplets like Tre since John Bonham. He is way under appreciated

[@jez770]

As a drummer myself (actually probably heavily influenced by him, in retrospect!), he is excellent and super under-rated. Super tight, fast, energetic.

Mike Dirnt's bass solo is fucking great!

[@punkrockstormchaser]

I mean yeah
But they do
You can’t really compare albums like dookie, insomniac, and nimrod to albums like American idiot, 21stcb, and The trilogy
The latter albums are much more radio rock (but still punk) albums
The other latter is much more snotty and punky
However I love all kinds of Green Day so

[@KrynslerR]

And they're still topping records. Freakin awesome

[@mattandallthings]

Dookie is the most underrated album ever. One of my all time faves. Every song just rips, including this one.

[@airtimetravelandmore5876]

Take a moment to think in the 90s kids who listened to Green Day were all punk and tough and went without parents and Green Day was playing in dark dirty loud crowded places but now everyone is so tame and they all just go with there parents to outside concerts kind of just waving there arms and nodding there head dam people were so much more cool and fun back in the 90s and early 200s but now it’s so tame

[@brianbullied]

Love how Billy tries to check the security into the crowd. The fans are so close to the stage, this never happens anymore.

[@dragonsapharra]

Billie. His name is Billie.

[@caramelgore]

dragonsapharra Billie Joe Armstrong, to be exact!

[@b16jce]

Check out Irving Plaza! They played there about 2-3 years ago...

[@lizachen5970]

Brian Bullied I totally agree. I know it's for their safety, but I got to see them play with my friends' band (also 3 guys) and a third, in Philly. It was in the early 90's and in a complete dive, but it was just like this. Best Night! The after party was SICK GOOD!

lyrics
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 there on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
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
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 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 slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
