Paradise City

[Verse 1: B-Real]

Just an urchin living under the street

I'm a hard case, real tough to beat

I'm your charity case

So buy me something to eat

I'll pay you at another time

Take it to the end of the line

[Verse 2: Sen Dog]

Rags to riches or so they say

You got to keep pushing for the fortune and fame you know it

It's all a gamble when it's just a game

You treat it like a capital crime

Everybody's doing their time

[Chorus 1]

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

[Verse 3: B-Real]

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber

Why I'm here I can't quite remember

The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe

I'd smoke another cigarette but I can't see

Tell me who you're going to believe

[Chorus 1]

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

[Bridge]

So far away

So far away

So far away

So far away

[Verse 4: Fergie]

Captain America's been torn apart now

He's a court jester with a broken heart

He said

"Turn me around and take me back to the start"

I must be losing my mind -

"Are you blind?!"

I've seen it all a million times

[Chorus 1]

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

[Chorus 2]

I want to go

I want to know

Oh, won't you please take me home

[Chorus 3]

I want to see

Oh, look at me

Oh, won't you please take me home

[Chorus 1]

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

[Bridge]

Take me down

Beat me down

Oh, won't you please take me home

[Chorus 3]

I want to see

Oh, look at me

Oh, won't you please take me home

[Bridge]

I want to see

Boy, I'm going to be mean

Oh, oh take me home

[Chorus 1]

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down

To the Paradise City

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

[Chorus 2]

I want to go

I want to know

Oh, won't you please take me home
