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
