All you want you can get
Get it now you no want it
Come here to look for prosperity
What you found was hatred and oppression
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city

They're going down to vanity
They're going down to hypocrisy
They're going down to the ghetto of the city
Where there is hatred and poverty
Where there is hatred and poverty

(..)

Ignorance, ignorant minds
Corrupted and confused
Build their lives on vanity
Has no love for humanity
Dreams are just an illusion
Pavements are not gold
Hatred, hatred and oppression
Down in the ghetto
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city

Like it was said earlier on
I don't feel nothing for love
But I say if money could buy love
The rich would live and the poor would die
This is what we found in the ghetto of the city

Ignorance, ignorant minds
Corrupted and confused
Build their lives on vanity
Has no love for humanity
Dreams are just an illusion
Pavements are not gold
Hatred, hatred and oppression
Down in the ghetto
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city

(..)

Ignorance, ignorant minds
Corrupted and confused
Build their lives on vanity
Has no love for humanity
Dreams are just an illusion
Pavements are not gold
Hatred, hatred and oppression
Down in the ghetto of the city
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city
