《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In the Ghetto - Tony Sullivan

[00:00:01] Written by：Mac Davis/Aiva

[00:00:07] As the snow flies

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

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

[00:00:18] In the Ghetto

[00:00:24] And his mama cries

[00:00:28] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:32] And another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:35] In the Ghetto

[00:00:42] People don't you understand

[00:00:45] The child needs a helping hand

[00:00:50] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:56] Take a look at you and me

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

[00:01:04] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:01:07] And look the other way

[00:01:12] Well the world turns

[00:01:19] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:23] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:27] In the Ghetto

[00:01:34] And his hunger burns

[00:01:41] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:44] And he learns how to steal

[00:01:46] And he learns how to fight

[00:01:48] In the Ghetto

[00:01:55] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:59] The young man breaks the rules

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

[00:02:05] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:02:10] And his mama cries

[00:02:16] And the crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:02:20] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

[00:02:23] In the Ghetto

[00:02:30] As her young man dies

[00:02:37] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:02:41] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:44] In the Ghetto

[00:02:52] And his mama cries

[00:02:58] And his mama cries

[00:03:05] And his mama cries
