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



long instrumental break



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
