Lyrics

Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Looking at the sky (the sky), starry-eyed
Searchin' for a place (searchin' for a place, searchin' for a place), weary-eyed
Cryin' in the night (cryin' in the night), teary-eyed
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto (oh, oh, oh)
Wonder when I'll find paradise
Somewhere there's a home (a home) sweet and nice
Wonder if I'll find happiness
Never give it up now I guess
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know (yeah) that it's true (mh)
That for me and for you (and for you)
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know (ooh) that it's true (ooh) (hey baby)
That for me (ooh) and for you (ah)
The world is a ghetto (yeah)
Don't you know (don't you know) that it's true (that it's true)
That for me (that for me) and for you (and for you)
The world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto...
