《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In the Ghetto - ADAMO

[00:00:01] Written by：Mac Davis

[00:00:06] As the snow flies

[00:00:11] On a cold and gray Chicago morning

[00:00:14] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:17] In the ghetto

[00:00:23] And his mama cries

[00:00:28] Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:31] It's another little hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:34] In the ghetto

[00:00:39] People don't you understand

[00:00:42] A child needs a helping hand

[00:00:45] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:51] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:53] Are we too blind to see

[00:00:57] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:00:59] And look the other way

[00:01:04] Well the world turns

[00:01:09] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:12] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:15] In the ghetto

[00:01:20] And his hunger burns

[00:01:26] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:29] And he learns how to steal

[00:01:30] And he learns how to fight

[00:01:32] In the ghetto

[00:01:38] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:40] A young man breaks away

[00:01:43] He buys a gun he steals a car

[00:01:46] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:01:50] And his mama cries

[00:01:55] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:01:57] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

[00:02:00] In the ghetto

[00:02:06] And as her young man dies

[00:02:11] On a cold and gray Chicago morning

[00:02:14] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:17] In the ghetto

[00:02:23] And his mama cries
