How come we all live in a ghetto? When did we stop saying hello? I'm just like you, you're just like me Afraid to let go That's why we all live in a ghetto She wants rain that's not polluted She wants roses, love included She used to have just enough Now she's used to much too much We should know all these things 'cause we we're all grown up Used to own all these things now these things own us But we don't ask for help, we just ask ourselves How come we all live in a ghetto? When did we stop saying hello? I'm just like you, you're just like me Afraid to let go That's why we all live in a ghetto She's old now, but that's just surface She's been stepped on like that's her purpose When ice melts, she cries tsunamis She cries help we don't acknowledge We should know all these things 'cause we're all grown up Used to own all these things, now these things own us But we don't ask for help, we just ask ourselves How come we all live in a ghetto? I ask myself When did we stop saying hello? When did we stop saying hello? I'm just like you, you're just like me Afraid to let go That's why we all live in a ghetto
