《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In The Ghetto - Josef Laufer

[00:00:05] As the snow flies

[00:00:28] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:00:35] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:39] In the ghetto

[00:00:40] And his mama cries

[00:00:47] Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:55] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:58] In the ghetto

[00:00:59] People don't you understand

[00:01:06] The child needs a helping hand

[00:01:11] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:01:15] Take a look at you and me

[00:01:19] Are we too blind to see

[00:01:23] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:01:27] And look the other way

[00:01:30] Well the world turns

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

[00:01:43] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:46] In the ghetto

[00:01:48] And his hunger burns

[00:01:54] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:02:02] And he learns how to steal

[00:02:04] And he learns how to fight

[00:02:06] In the ghetto

[00:02:07] Then one night in desperation

[00:02:15] A young man breaks away

[00:02:18] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:02:21] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:02:25] And his mama cries

[00:02:30] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

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

[00:02:41] In the ghetto

[00:02:42] As her young man dies

[00:02:49] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:02:57] Another little baby child is born

[00:03:00] In the ghetto

[00:03:01] And his mama cries

[00:03:09] In the ghetto
