| [00:05.341] |
As the snow flies |
| [00:10.833] |
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' a poor little baby child is born In the ghetto |
| [00:21.671] |
And his mama cries 'cause if there's one thing that she don't need |
| [00:30.245] |
It's another hungry mouth to feed |
| [00:33.000] |
In the ghetto |
| [00:38.157] |
People, don't you understand |
| [00:40.740] |
The child needs a helping hand |
| [00:43.899] |
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day |
| [00:48.939] |
Take a look at you and me |
| [00:51.525] |
Are we too blind to see |
| [00:54.807] |
Do we simply turn our heads |
| [00:58.401] |
And look the other way |
| [01:01.999] |
Well the world turns |
| [01:07.688] |
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose |
| [01:11.226] |
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto |
| [01:18.532] |
And his hunger burns |
| [01:24.213] |
So he starts to roam the streets at night |
| [01:26.999] |
And he learns how to steal |
| [01:28.486] |
And he learns how to fight in the ghetto |
| [01:35.319] |
Then one night in desperation |
| [01:37.718] |
The young man breaks away |
| [01:40.774] |
He buys a gun, steals a car |
| [01:43.527] |
Tries to run, but he don't get far and his mama cries |
| [01:52.907] |
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man |
| [01:55.637] |
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto |
| [02:03.451] |
And as her young man dies, on a cold and gray Chicago mornin' |
| [02:11.939] |
Another little baby child is born in the ghetto |
| [02:21.874] |
And his mama cries in the ghetto In the ghetto |
