There are places in Havana
That remind me of Savannah
Parts of West Virginia
That might as well be Kenya
Parts of New York City
Parts of Mississippi
Parts of Tennessee
Look like another world to me

CHORUS
Ghetto
Might as well be another country
Barrio
Might as well be another country
When you look around
You live in another country, too
Too...Too...Too...Too

To be hungry in L.A.
Is just like starving in Bombay
Homeless in Morocco
Is a shelter in Chicago
Right around the corner
Just down the road
Right before your eyes
Right under your nose

The Ghetto
Might as well be another country
Barrio
Might as well be another country
When you look around
You live in another country, too
Too...Too...Too...Too

Ain't no separation
When you're looking down from outer space
We're just the human race and the world is a...

Ghetto
It's in every place in every country
Barrio
It's in every place in every country
When you look around
Do you see your brother?
When you look around
It's a small world after all
When you look around
You live in another country, too
Too...Too...Too...Too
