♪♫ 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

  1. My Dad just passed away in June and I’m realizing how much of a gift it was for him to share all his music with me my whole life. It gives me a glimpse into how life was for him back then and I’m so glad I’m able to carry this kind of music on to my son one day. I can feel him next to me every time his favorite songs play. Rest In Peace Pops I love you.

  2. I’m 42 in 2022 & this song has me so emotional right now! Music was just life serenaded back then. I probably wasn’t even born when this song came out, but it is truth right now today! The world is a ghetto!

  3. Smoking with her friends
    Tweeker eyes
    Needle scars inside her elbow
    Shoestring ties
    Foil balls in my carpet
    She stole me blind
    Did you know?
    A drug ho
    Is not for me
    Not
    For
    You

    The girl is a drug ho

  4. Tedeschi Trucks Band brought this great 1972-number to the stage some time a go with mr. Hidalgo joining. Thank you so very much War, Hidalgo and TTB

  5. A sad footnote to this is , Charles Miller who layed down the tremendous Sax solo was murdered in Los Angeles in 1980 .
    The crime has never been solved .

  6. Growing up running in the South Side, CCC, Beverly Hills, (hell everywhere in Vallejo), its all truth, but we made the most of it. The best memories & some lessons learned the hard way…This song cuts to the quick, but in the best way…
