[00:00:00] In The Ghetto (在贫民区) (Live in Bielefeld|1969) - Roy Black (罗伊·布莱克)

[00:00:02] Written by：Scott E. Davis

[00:00:11] As the snow flies

[00:00:17] On a cold and gray Chicago morning

[00:00:20] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:23] In the ghetto

[00:00:26] And his mama cries

[00:00:28] And his mama cries

[00:00:34] Cause if theres one thing that she don't need

[00:00:37] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:40] In the ghetto

[00:00:43] In the ghetto

[00:00:45] People don't understand

[00:00:48] The child needs a helping hand

[00:00:51] Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:57] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:59] Are we too blind to see

[00:01:03] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:01:06] And look the other way

[00:01:10] As the world turns

[00:01:17] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:19] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:22] In the ghetto

[00:01:25] In the ghetto

[00:01:28] And his hunger burns

[00:01:31] So he starts starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:37] And he learns how to steal

[00:01:38] And he learns how to fight

[00:01:40] In the ghetto

[00:01:42] In the ghetto

[00:01:45] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:48] A young man breaks away

[00:01:51] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:01:54] Tries to run he don't get for

[00:01:59] And his mama cries

[00:02:06] As a crowd gathers round an angry young man

[00:02:08] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

[00:02:11] In the ghetto

[00:02:14] In the ghetto

[00:02:17] As her young man dies

[00:02:23] On a cold and gray Chicago morning

[00:02:26] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:31] In the ghetto

[00:02:34] In the ghetto

[00:02:37] And his mama cries

[00:02:43] In the ghetto
