In The Ghetto - Ross Mcmanus[00:00:00]

As the snow flies[00:00:05]

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'[00:00:11]

A poor little baby child is born[00:00:14]

In the ghetto[00:00:16]

And his mama cries[00:00:22]

Cause if there's one thing that she don't need[00:00:28]

It's another hungry mouth to feed[00:00:30]

In the ghetto[00:00:33]

People don't you understand[00:00:39]

The child needs a helping hand[00:00:41]

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day[00:00:45]

Take a look at you and me [00:00:50]

Are we too blind to see [00:00:52]

Do we simply turn our heads[00:00:56]

And look the other way[00:00:58]

Well the world turns[00:01:03]

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose[00:01:09]

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows[00:01:12]

In the ghetto[00:01:15]

And his hunger burns[00:01:21]

So he starts to roam the streets at night[00:01:26]

And he learns how to steal[00:01:29]

And he learns how to fight[00:01:30]

In the ghetto[00:01:32]

Then one night in desperation[00:01:38]

A young man breaks away[00:01:41]

He buys a gun steals a car [00:01:43]

Tries to run but he don't get far[00:01:46]

And his mama cries[00:01:49]

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man[00:01:56]

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand[00:01:59]

In the ghetto[00:02:02]

And as her young man dies [00:02:07]

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' [00:02:13]

Another little baby child is born[00:02:16]

In the ghetto[00:02:20]

And his mama cries[00:02:26]
