《In The Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In The Ghetto - Mac Davis

[00:00:11] As the snow flies

[00:00:16] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

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

[00:00:22] In the ghetto

[00:00:27] And his mama cries

[00:00:32] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:35] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:38] In the ghetto

[00:00:43] People don't you understand

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

[00:00:48] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:54] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:56] Are we too blind to see

[00:00:59] Do we simply turn our heads

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

[00:01:07] Well the world turns

[00:01:12] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:14] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:17] In the ghetto

[00:01:22] And his hunger burns

[00:01:27] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:31] And he learns how to steal

[00:01:32] And he learns how to fight

[00:01:33] In the ghetto

[00:01:39] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:40] A young man breaks away

[00:01:43] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:01:47] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:01:52] And his mama cries

[00:01:57] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

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

[00:02:02] In the ghetto

[00:02:08] As her young man dies

[00:02:13] On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'

[00:02:16] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:19] In the ghetto

[00:02:28] And his mama cries
