Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking down the street
Smoggy eyed
Looking at the sky
Starry eyed
[Verse 2]
Searching for the place
Weary eyed
Crying in the night
Teary eyed
[Verse 3]
Don't you know
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Verse 4]
Don't you know
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Verse 5]
Wonder when I'll find paradise
Somewhere there's a home
Sweet and nice
[Verse 6]
Wonder if I'll find happiness
Never give it up
Now I guess
[Verse 7]
Don't you know
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Verse 8]
Don't you know, yeah
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Verse 9]
Don't you know
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Verse 10]
Don't you know
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Verse 11]
The world is a ghetto
Alright I see you, talk to me
The world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto, yeah
[Verse 12]
I said the world is a ghetto, baby, yeah
I'm walking down the street smoggy eyed, starry eyed, weary eyed, teary eyed
But the world is a ghetto
But the world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto
