《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In the Ghetto - Ameritz Tribute Standards (阿莫瑞兹致敬标准)

[00:00:07] As the snow flies

[00:00:13] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:00:15] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:18] In the ghetto

[00:00:24] And his mama cries

[00:00:29] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:32] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:35] In the ghetto

[00:00:40] People don't you understand

[00:00:43] The child a needs helping hand

[00:00:47] Or he'll grow to be an angry man young some day

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

[00:00:54] Are we too blind to see

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

[00:01:00] The other way

[00:01:04] Well the world turns

[00:01:10] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:13] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:15] In the ghetto

[00:01:21] 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

[00:01:31] And he to learns fighthow

[00:01:32] In the ghetto

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

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

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

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

[00:01:50] And his mama cries

[00:01:57] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

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

[00:02:02] In the ghetto

[00:02:08] And as her young man dies

[00:02:14] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:02:16] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:21] In the ghetto

[00:02:26] And his mama cries
