《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:05] As the snow flies

[00:00:10] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto

[00:00:21] And his mama cries 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:30] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:33] In the ghetto

[00:00:38] People don't you understand

[00:00:40] The child needs a helping hand

[00:00:43] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:48] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:51] Are we too blind to see

[00:00:54] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:00:58] And look the other way

[00:01:01] Well the world turns

[00:01:07] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:11] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto

[00:01:18] And his hunger burns

[00:01:24] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:26] And he learns how to steal

[00:01:28] And he learns how to fight In the ghetto

[00:01:35] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:37] The young man breaks away

[00:01:40] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:01:43] Tries to run but he don't get far And his mama cries

[00:01:52] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:01:55] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto

[00:02:03] And as her young man dies On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:02:11] Another little baby child is born In the ghetto

[00:02:21] And his mama cries In the ghetto In the ghetto
