Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Looking at the sky, starry-eyed
Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed
Crying 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

Wonder when I'll find paradise
Somewhere there's 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 that it's true
   That for me and for you
   The world is a ghetto


There's no need to search anywhere
Happiness is here, have your share
If you know you're loved, be secure
Paradise is love to be sure

   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

   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
