Mula, babe 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 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 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 And oh, all over the late night local news I heard 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 I say the sun don't shine forever Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And everything that glitter ain't gold I say love don't love forever Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh When everything that's new gets old Sometimes we try to find a road to the riches, need roadside assistants Blisters on my knees from beggin' for forgiveness Ain't no dollars on my trees but mileage on my feet 'Cause I been climbin' to the peak and runnin' from the bullshit I'm tired of hearin' the same songs, who told the DJ, bring it back? Dead president's bullet in Abraham's Lincoln hat Starin' at big poster I swear that he be winkin' back Cut school, sell crack, sorry I'm just thinkin' back 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, oh, oh, oh This ain't paradice No, this ain't paradice This ain't paradice
