《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In The Ghetto - Christer Sjögren

[00:00:05] As the snow flies

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

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

[00:00:16] In the ghetto

[00:00:22] And his mama cries

[00:00:27] '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

[00:00:44] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:49] Take a look at you and me

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

[00:00:55] Do we simply turn our heads

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

[00:01:02] Well the world turns

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

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

[00:01:14] In the ghetto

[00:01:20] And his hunger burns

[00:01:25] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:28] And he learns how to steal

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

[00:01:31] In the ghetto

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

[00:01:39] A young man breaks away

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

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

[00:01:50] And his mama cries

[00:01:56] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:01:58] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

[00:02:01] In the ghetto

[00:02:06] As her young man dies

[00:02:12] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin

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

[00:02:20] In the ghetto

[00:02:26] And his mama cries
