《In The Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:05] As the snow flies

[00:00:11] On a cold and grey Chicago morn

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

[00:00:22] And his mama cries

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

[00:00:31] Is another little hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto

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

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

[00:00:45] He's gonna grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:50] Take a look at you and me

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

[00:00:56] Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

[00:01:04] And the world turns

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

[00:01:12] Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows 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 and he learns how to fight in the ghetto

[00:01:37] Then one night in desperation

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

[00:01:42] He buys a gun and steals a car

[00:01:45] He tries to run but he don't get far

[00:01:50] And his mama cries

[00:01:56] A crowd gathers round an angry young man

[00:01:59] Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto

[00:02:07] And as her young man dies

[00:02:12] On a cold and grey Chicago morn

[00:02:15] Another little baby child is born in the ghetto

[00:02:23] And his mama cries

[00:02:32] In the ghetto
