In The Ghetto

[00:09.14] As the snow flows
[00:12.92] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[00:16.41] A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
[00:21.16] (In the ghetto)
[00:23.16] And his mama cries
[00:28.05] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:31.01] It's another hungry mouth to feed
[00:33.27] In the ghetto
[00:35.72] (In the ghetto)
[00:38.19] People, don't you understand
[00:40.33] The child needs a helping hand
[00:42.82] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:47.37] Take a look at you and me
[00:49.59] Are we too blind to see
[00:52.80] Do we simply turn our heads
[00:54.91] And look the other way
[00:58.12] Well the world turns
[01:02.52] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:05.50] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:08.40] In the ghetto
[01:10.56] (In the ghetto)
[01:12.87] And his hunger burns
[01:17.54] So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:20.01] And he learns how to steal
[01:21.47] And he learns how to fight
[01:22.81] In the ghetto
[01:25.22] (In the ghetto)
[01:27.54] Then one night in desperation
[01:30.14] The young man breaks away
[01:32.01] He buys a gun, steals a car
[01:34.55] Tries to run, but he don't get far
[01:37.28] And his mama cries
[01:42.33] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
[01:45.36] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[01:47.65] In the ghetto
[01:52.49] As her young man dies
[01:56.52] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[01:59.76] Another little baby child is born
[02:02.27] In the ghetto
[02:04.45] (In the ghetto)
[02:07.16] And his mama cries
[02:09.10] (In the ghetto)
[02:11.67] In the ghetto
[02:13.43] (In the ghetto)
[02:15.80] In the ghetto
[02:18.57] (In the ghetto)
[02:21.55] In the ghetto
[02:25.72]
