And the snow flies | |
On a cold and grey | |
Chicago morn | |
A poor little baby child is born | |
In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
And his mama cries ' | |
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need | |
It's another hungry mouth to feed | |
In the ghetto (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 | |
Or will we simply turn our heads | |
And look the other way? | |
And the world turns | |
And the hungry little boy with the runny nose | |
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows | |
In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
And his hunger burns | |
So he starts to roam the streets at night | |
He learns how to steal | |
And he learns how to fight | |
In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
Then one night in desperation | |
The young man breaks away | |
He buys a gun, he steals a car | |
He tries to run, but he don't get far | |
And his mama cries | |
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man | |
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand | |
In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
And as her young man dies (in the ghetto) | |
On a cold and grey | |
Chicago morn' | |
Another little baby child is born | |
In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
And his mama cries… (In the ghetto, in the ghetto, in the ghetto…) |
And the snow flies | |
On a cold and grey | |
Chicago morn | |
A poor little baby child is born | |
In the ghetto in the ghetto | |
And his mama cries ' | |
Cause if there' s one thing that she don' t need | |
It' s another hungry mouth to feed | |
In the ghetto 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 | |
Or will we simply turn our heads | |
And look the other way? | |
And the world turns | |
And the hungry little boy with the runny nose | |
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows | |
In the ghetto in the ghetto | |
And his hunger burns | |
So he starts to roam the streets at night | |
He learns how to steal | |
And he learns how to fight | |
In the ghetto in the ghetto | |
Then one night in desperation | |
The young man breaks away | |
He buys a gun, he steals a car | |
He tries to run, but he don' t get far | |
And his mama cries | |
As a crowd gathers ' round an angry young man | |
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand | |
In the ghetto in the ghetto | |
And as her young man dies in the ghetto | |
On a cold and grey | |
Chicago morn' | |
Another little baby child is born | |
In the ghetto in the ghetto | |
And his mama cries In the ghetto, in the ghetto, in the ghetto |
And the snow flies | |
On a cold and grey | |
Chicago morn | |
A poor little baby child is born | |
In the ghetto in the ghetto | |
And his mama cries ' | |
