'In the Ghetto' by The Cheap Seats
As the snow flies
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the Ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing
that she don't need
it's another hungary mouth to feed
In the Ghetto
People, don't you understand
the child needs a helping hand
or he'll grow to be an angry
young man some day
Take a look at you and me
are we too blind to see
do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way
Well the world turns
and a hungary little boy with
a runny nose
plays in the street as the
cold wind blows
In the Ghetto
And his hungar burns
so he starts to roam the
streets at night
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
In the Ghetto
Then one night in desperation
a young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
tries to run but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an
angry young man
face down on the street
with a gun in his hand
In the Ghetto
As her young man dies
on a cold and grey Chicago
morning
another little baby child
is born
In the Ghetto |
