Ghetto of the City Lyrics


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 anything 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
In the ghetto of the city
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city
Down, down, down in the ghetto of the city

With a career spanning four decades, Misty in Roots are one of the UK’s finest reggae groups. The band was one of the most powerful live reggae acts to emerge from 1970s London, and they were a major force in the Rock Against Racism movement. This British based roots reggae band Misty in Roots have played together for the past 20 years, first coming together in 1975 and working as a backing band for the late, great Nicky Thomas - one of Jamaica's all time greats who had achieved national chart success with songs such as "Love Of The Common People".
