In the Ghetto (Live at Vicar Street)歌词

[00:06.89]As the snow flies
[00:12.22]on a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
[00:15.18]A poor little baby child is born
[00:17.72]in the ghetto
[00:23.36]And his mama cries
[00:29.09]'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:32.02]It's another hungry mouth to feed
[00:34.78]in the ghetto
[00:40.19]So people won't you understand
[00:42.92]The child needs a helping hand
[00:46.22]or he'll grow to be an angry young man someday
[00:51.47]Take a look at you and me
[00:53.97]Are we too blind to see?
[00:57.18]Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
[01:04.31]Well, the world turns
[01:09.95]And a poor little boy with a runny nose
[01:13.21]Plays in the street while the cold wind blows
[01:16.01]in the ghetto
[01:21.43]And his hunger burns
[01:27.22]So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:30.12]And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
[01:32.71]in the ghetto
[01:38.56]Then one night in desperation
[01:41.40]The young man breaks away
[01:44.31]He buys a gun and he steals a car
[01:46.86]And he tries to run
[01:48.35]But he doesn't get far
[01:52.85]And his mama cries
[01:59.32]As a crowd gathers 'round
[02:01.93]an angry young man face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[02:04.80]in the ghetto
[02:10.62]And as her young man dies
[02:16.30]on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[02:19.39]Another little baby child is born
[02:22.03]in the ghetto, in the ghetto, in the ghetto
