《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:05] As the snow flies

[00:00:10] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:00:13] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:19] In the ghetto

[00:00:21] And his mama cries

[00:00:27] Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

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

[00:00:35] In the ghetto

[00:00:37] People don't you understand

[00:00:40] The child needs a helping hand

[00:00:43] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:48] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:51] Are we too blind to see

[00:00:54] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:00:57] And look the other way

[00:01:01] Well the world turns

[00:01:09] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:12] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:17] In the ghetto

[00:01:20] And his hunger burns

[00:01:25] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:28] And he learns how to steal

[00:01:30] And he learns how to fight

[00:01:34] In the ghetto

[00:01:36] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:39] A young man breaks away

[00:01:42] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:01:45] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:01:48] And his mama cries

[00:01:54] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:01:57] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

[00:02:02] In the ghetto

[00:02:05] As her young man dies

[00:02:10] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:02:23] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:36] In the ghetto

[00:02:44] And his mama cries
