《In The Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:02] In The Ghetto -Mac Davis -Various Artists

[00:00:07] As the snow flies

[00:00:07] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:00:11] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:16] In the ghetto

[00:00:17] And his mama cries

[00:00:18] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:22] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:23] In the ghetto

[00:00:25] People, don't you understand

[00:00:31] The child needs a helping hand

[00:00:39] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:52] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:57] Are we too blind to see?

[00:00:59] Or do we simply turn our heads

[00:01:03] And look the other way

[00:01:05] Well, the world turns

[00:01:06] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:10] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:16] In the ghetto

[00:01:18] And his hunger burns

[00:01:20] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:24] And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight

[00:01:31] In the ghetto

[00:01:31] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:33] A young man breaks away

[00:01:36] He buys a gun, steals a car

[00:01:44] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:01:51] And his mama cries

[00:01:53] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:02:17] Face down in the street with a gun in his hand

[00:02:25] In the ghetto

[00:02:27] As her young man dies

[00:02:30] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:02:32] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:45] In the ghetto

[00:02:52] And his mama cries
