[03:30.00]In The Ghetto - Mac Davis - Various Artists
[03:30.00]As the snow flies
[03:30.00]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[03:30.00]A poor little baby child is born
[03:30.00]In the ghetto
[03:30.00]And his mama cries
[03:30.00]'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[03:30.00]It's another hungry mouth to feed
[03:30.00]In the ghetto
[03:30.00]People, don't you understand
[03:30.00]The child needs a helping hand
[03:30.00]Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[03:30.00]Take a look at you and me
[03:30.00]Are we too blind to see?
[03:30.00]Or do we simply turn our heads
[03:30.00]And look the other way
[03:30.00]Well, the world turns
[03:30.00]And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[03:30.00]Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[03:30.00]In the ghetto
[03:30.00]And his hunger burns
[03:30.00]So he starts to roam the streets at night
[03:30.00]And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight
[03:30.00]In the ghetto
[03:30.00]Then one night in desperation
[03:30.00]A young man breaks away
[03:30.00]He buys a gun, steals a car
[03:30.00]Tries to run but he don't get far
[03:30.00]And his mama cries
[03:30.00]As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
[03:30.00]Face down in the street with a gun in his hand
[03:30.00]In the ghetto
[03:30.00]As her young man dies
[03:30.00]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[03:30.00]Another little baby child is born
[03:30.00]In the ghetto
[03:30.00]And his mama cries
