《In The Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:02] As the snow flies

[00:00:04] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:00:19] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:27] In the ghetto

[00:00:32] And his mama cries

[00:00:38] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:50] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:56] In the ghetto

[00:01:01] People don't you understand

[00:01:03] The child needs a helping hand

[00:01:10] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:01:21] Take a look at you and me

[00:01:29] Are we too blind to see

[00:01:30] Or do we simply turn our heads

[00:01:34] And look the other way

[00:01:36] Well the world turns

[00:01:40] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:46] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:54] In the ghetto

[00:01:59] And his hunger burns

[00:02:05] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:02:10] And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight

[00:02:17] In the ghetto

[00:02:19] Then one night in desperation

[00:02:25] A young man breaks away

[00:02:31] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:02:40] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:02:49] And his mama cries

[00:02:52] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:03:01] Face down in the street with a gun in his hand

[00:03:09] In the ghetto

[00:03:19] As her young man dies

[00:03:24] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:03:27] Another little baby child is born

[00:03:33] In the ghetto

[00:03:44] And his mama cries
