The World Is A Ghetto

You are what you want to be and the sum of all that you have done, not what others tell you that you are. I agree that women suffer discrimination in this world. But it (my post) was a weak attempt at irony. If I have offended anyone, I apologize. I despise that word in all forms EXCEPT the title of that song. Sometimes protest songs need to be shocking.

 

Exactly. Man, you are bang on with my vibe today bro.

 

Yes it is, no thanks, I don't dislike your mother in- law irony is a degree off of reaction x execution, life is great, graffiti is and Italian word, there are mobs in Asia and I prefer the Video to War's Why can't we be friends that comes on from time to time on VH1's classics

 

For people with enough cash the Ghetto does not exist . Jonh lennon lived and only hung out in very exclusive N.Y clubs with Yoko so he was fairly far from any real Ghetto.

 

um, the way I took the song all these years is that woman will always be second class citizens, even if I dont agree with everything John Lennon has had to say in that particular song I understand the metaphor and I myself have struggles on a daily basis because I am a woman .... now I need someone to get me a coffee ... maybe my mom will do it .....

 

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

 

War version was a more accurate picture of a Ghetto.

 

Yes, but he spent the first 18 years of his life living in the ghettos of Liverpool, so he knew a little something about it. And he spent his last years in seclusion or exclusivity out of neccessity because of assholes like the one who killed him.

 

Shit happens. with the kind money he had i would not lived in NY period . the other beatles did not but it was Yoko wearing the pants for a long time and thats were she wanted to live . Had he spent a little more on security he prob would not be dead!.

 

Not fair to blame her. She didn't break up the Beatles and she didn't cause John's death. He could have said he didn't want to live there. If she broke up the Beatles then why didn't the other 3 preform without John?

 

did i mention anything about the beatles break up?

 

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know we had an inside expert with intimate knowledge of John and Yoko's home and habits and relationship and likes/dislikes. Sorry to have spoken out of turn.

Ass, do you honestly think John Lennon lived somewhere or did anything he didn't want? Get a clue.

 

Not an Expert but you can bet Yoko was wearing the pants.
