《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In the Ghetto - Petticoat

[00:00:00] As the snow flies

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

[00:00:10] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:12] In the ghetto

[00:00:18] And his mama cries

[00:00:25] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:28] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:31] In the ghetto

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

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

[00:00:44] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:49] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:52] Are we too blind to see

[00:00:56] Do we simply turn our heads

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

[00:01:07] Well the world turns

[00:01:14] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:17] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:20] In the ghetto

[00:01:26] And his hunger burns

[00:01:32] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:35] And he learns how to steal

[00:01:37] And he learns how to fight

[00:01:39] In the ghetto

[00:01:45] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:48] A young man breaks away

[00:01:51] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:01:55] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:02:02] And his mama cries

[00:02:05] In the ghetto

[00:02:09] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:02:12] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

[00:02:15] In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

[00:02:21] And as her young man dies

[00:02:24] In the ghetto

[00:02:27] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:02:30] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:38] In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

[00:02:48] In the ghetto
