《In The Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In The Ghetto - David Nail

[00:00:00] Written by：Mac Davis

[00:00:14] As the snow flies on a cold and gray Chicago morn

[00:00:24] A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto and his mama cries

[00:00:42] Cause there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:45] Is another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto

[00:00:55] People don't you understand child needs a helping hand

[00:01:02] He'll grow to be an angry young man someday

[00:01:09] Take a look at you and me are we too blind to see

[00:01:16] Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way while the world turns

[00:01:35] And a hungry little boy with a running nose

[00:01:38] Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows in the

[00:01:43] Ghetto and his hunger burns

[00:01:55] So he starts to roam the streets of night

[00:01:58] And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto

[00:02:09] Then one night in desperation the young man breaks away

[00:02:16] He buys a gun steals a car tries to run

[00:02:21] But he don't get far and his mama cries

[00:02:35] As a crowd gathers round and the angry young man

[00:02:38] Paces down the street with a gun in his hand in the

[00:02:43] Ghetto and as her young man dies

[00:02:56] On a cold and gray Chicago morn another

[00:02:59] Little baby child is born in the ghetto
