In the Ghetto

Intro : 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 hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto   People don't you understand, the child needs a helping hand or he'll grow up to be an angry young man some day Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see do you simply turn our heads and look the other way well the world turns And a hungry little boy with a runny nose plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto and his hunger 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 the 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 mornin'another little baby child is born in the ghetto, and his mama cries, in the ghetto
