She was a young girl in pursuit of glory and fame.
|
She would do anything she could to feel the flame,
|
When everybody knew your mood and the games you’ve played.
|
She finally made all her dreams come true and then she screamed:
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Yea.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
He was a young boy in pursuit of money and fame,
|
And he would do anything he could to kill the pain.
|
When everybody knew your mood, they speaking your name,
|
All over the late night local news I hear them scream:
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh, I say the sun don’t shine forever.
|
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Ohhh
|
And everything that glitter ain’t gold.
|
I say love don’t love forever.
|
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Ohhh
|
When everything that’s new gets old.
|
Sometimes we try to find a road to the riches;
|
We need roadside assistance.
|
Blisters on my knees from begging for forgiveness.
|
Ain’t no dollars on my trees, but mileage on my feet,
|
'Cause I been climbing to the peak and running from the bullshit.
|
I’m tired of hearing the same songs, who told the DJ bring it back.
|
Dead presidents bullet in Abraham Lincoln hat.
|
Staring at big poster -- I swear that he be winking back.
|
Cut school; |
sell crack. |
Sorry I’m just thinking back.
|
Ca-Call me crazy, I’ve been called worse.
|
It’s like I have it all, but what’s it all worth?
|
I’m probably better in my afterlife.
|
I should cherish life, but this ain’t paradice.
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice
|
Oh no, this ain’t paradice
|
Oh, Oh, Ohh
|
This ain’t paradice
|
No, this ain’t paradice
|
This ain’t paradice |
