Lyrics:

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 move and the games you played
She finally made all her dreams come true and then she screamed

Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise, yeah
Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise

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 move, they speaking your name
And oh, all over the late night local news I heard him scream

Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise

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)
And everything that's new gets old

Sometimes we try to find the road to the riches,
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 song
Who told the DJ to 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
Call me crazy, I been called worse
It's like I have it all, but what's it all worth? (haha)
I'm probably better in my afterlife
I should cherish life but this ain't paradise

Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise
Oh no, this ain't paradise

This ain't paradise
No this ain't paradise
This ain't paradise
