| [00:06.44] |
As the snow flies |
| [00:09.85] |
On a cold and gray chicago mornin |
| [00:13.48] |
A poor little baby child is born |
| [00:18.18] |
In the ghetto |
| [00:24.87] |
And his mama cries |
| [00:28.52] |
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need |
| [00:32.02] |
It's another hungry mouth to feed |
| [00:36.94] |
In the ghetto |
| [00:41.59] |
People, don't you understand |
| [00:44.80] |
The child needs a helping hand |
| [00:49.09] |
Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day |
| [00:55.00] |
Take a look at you and me, |
| [00:58.30] |
Are we too blind to see, |
| [01:02.67] |
Do we simply turn our heads |
| [01:06.14] |
And look the other way |
| [01:10.59] |
As the world turns |
| [01:14.11] |
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose |
| [01:17.65] |
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows |
| [01:22.43] |
In the ghetto |
| [01:29.04] |
And his hunger burns |
| [01:32.54] |
So he starts to roam the streets at night |
| [01:36.04] |
And he learns how to steal |
| [01:37.66] |
And he learns how to fight |
| [01:40.96] |
In the ghetto |
| [01:46.65] |
Then one night in desperation |
| [01:49.85] |
The young man breaks away |
| [01:53.05] |
He buys a gun, steals a car, |
| [01:56.71] |
Tries to run, but he don't get far |
| [02:01.39] |
And his mama cries |
| [02:04.74] |
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man |
| [02:08.17] |
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand |
| [02:13.19] |
In the ghetto |
| [02:18.11] |
And as her young man dies, |
| [02:21.58] |
On a cold and gray chicago mornin, |
| [02:25.23] |
Another little baby child is born |
| [02:30.02] |
In the ghetto |
| [02:43.55] |
In the ghetto |
| [02:52.01] |
In the ghetto |
| [02:55.52] |
In the ghetto |
