[00:00.000] 作曲 : Mac Davis
[00:05.560]As the snow flies
[00:11.060]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[00:14.290]A poor little baby child is born
[00:16.720]In the ghetto
[00:19.590](In the ghetto)
[00:22.280]And his mama cries
[00:27.660]'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:30.430]It is another hungry mouth to feed
[00:33.330]In the ghetto
[00:36.050](In the ghetto)
[00:38.270]People, don't you understand
[00:40.950]The child needs a helping hand
[00:44.190]Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:48.980]Take a look at you and me
[00:51.730]Are we too blind to see?
[00:55.260]Do we simply turn our heads
[00:58.100]And look the other way
[01:02.170]Well, the world turns
[01:07.880]And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:11.220]Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:13.570]In the ghetto
[01:16.510](In the ghetto)
[01:18.550]And his hunger burns
[01:24.140]So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:27.250]And he learns how to steal
[01:28.770]And he learns how to fight
[01:29.970]In the ghetto
[01:32.740](In the ghetto)
[01:35.570]Then one night in desperation
[01:38.170]The young man breaks away
[01:40.880]He buys a gun, steals a car
[01:43.430]Tries to run, but he don't get far
[01:46.930]And his mama cries
[01:53.080]As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
[01:55.760]Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[01:58.620]In the ghetto
[02:01.170](In the ghetto)
[02:03.320]And as her young man dies
[02:06.560](In the ghetto)
[02:09.000]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[02:12.270]Another little baby child is born
[02:16.230]In the ghetto
[02:19.270](In the ghetto)
[02:21.860]And his mama cries
[02:24.620](In the ghetto)
[02:30.100](In the ghetto)
[02:35.230](Ah)
