Natalie Merchant - In the Ghetto слова песни
( Mac Scott Davis Cover)As the snow fliesOn a cold and gray Chicago mornin`Another little baby child is bornIn the ghettoAnd his mama cries`Cause if there`s one thing that she don`t needIt`s another hungry mouth to feedIn the ghettoOh, well People, don`t you understandThe child needs a helping handO-or he`ll grow to be an angry young man some dayOh, people look at you and me,Are we too blind to see,Do we simply turn our headsAnd look the other wayAs the world turnsAnd a hungry little boy with a runny nosePlays in the street as the cold wind blowsIn the ghetto (in the ghetto)And his hunger burnsSo he starts to roam the streets at nightWhere he learns how to stealAnd he learns how to fightIn the ghettoOh, People, don`t you understandThis child needs a helping handO-or he`ll grow to be an angry young man some dayPeople look at you and me,Are we too blind to see,Do we simply turn our headsAnd look the other wayAs the world turnsThen one night in desperationA young man breaks awayHe buys a gun, steals a car,Tries to run, but he don`t get farAnd his mama criesAs a crowd gathers `round an angry young manFace down on the street with a gun in his handIn the ghetto (In the ghetto)As her young man dies,On a cold and gray Chicago mornin`,Another little baby child is bornIn the ghetto x 2 (In the ghetto x 2)
