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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus x2]

(The world is a ghetto)
(The world is a ghetto)
(The world is a ghetto)
