《In The Ghetto》歌词

[00:03:30] In The Ghetto - Mac Davis - Various Artists

[00:03:30] As the snow flies

[00:03:30] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:03:30] A poor little baby child is born

[00:03:30] In the ghetto

[00:03:30] And his mama cries

[00:03:30] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:03:30] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:03:30] In the ghetto

[00:03:30] People, don't you understand

[00:03:30] The child needs a helping hand

[00:03:30] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:03:30] Take a look at you and me

[00:03:30] Are we too blind to see?

[00:03:30] Or do we simply turn our heads

[00:03:30] And look the other way

[00:03:30] Well, the world turns

[00:03:30] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:03:30] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:03:30] In the ghetto

[00:03:30] And his hunger burns

[00:03:30] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:03:30] And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight

[00:03:30] In the ghetto

[00:03:30] Then one night in desperation

[00:03:30] A young man breaks away

[00:03:30] He buys a gun, steals a car

[00:03:30] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:03:30] And his mama cries

[00:03:30] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:03:30] Face down in the street with a gun in his hand

[00:03:30] In the ghetto

[00:03:30] As her young man dies

[00:03:30] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:03:30] Another little baby child is born

[00:03:30] In the ghetto

[00:03:30] And his mama cries
