In The Ghetto (在贫民区) (Live in Bielefeld|1969) - Roy Black (罗伊·布莱克)[00:00:00]
Written by:Scott E. Davis[00:00:02]
As the snow flies[00:00:11]
On a cold and gray Chicago morning[00:00:17]
A poor little baby child is born[00:00:20]
In the ghetto[00:00:23]
And his mama cries[00:00:26]
And his mama cries[00:00:28]
Cause if theres one thing that she don't need[00:00:34]
It's another hungry mouth to feed[00:00:37]
In the ghetto[00:00:40]
In the ghetto[00:00:43]
People don't understand[00:00:45]
The child needs a helping hand[00:00:48]
Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day[00:00:51]
Take a look at you and me[00:00:57]
Are we too blind to see[00:00:59]
Do we simply turn our heads[00:01:03]
And look the other way[00:01:06]
As the world turns[00:01:10]
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose[00:01:17]
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows[00:01:19]
In the ghetto[00:01:22]
In the ghetto[00:01:25]
And his hunger burns[00:01:28]
So he starts starts to roam the streets at night[00:01:31]
And he learns how to steal[00:01:37]
And he learns how to fight[00:01:38]
In the ghetto[00:01:40]
In the ghetto[00:01:42]
Then one night in desperation[00:01:45]
A young man breaks away[00:01:48]
He buys a gun steals a car[00:01:51]
Tries to run he don't get for[00:01:54]
And his mama cries[00:01:59]
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man[00:02:06]
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand[00:02:08]
In the ghetto[00:02:11]
In the ghetto[00:02:14]
As her young man dies[00:02:17]
On a cold and gray Chicago morning[00:02:23]
Another little baby child is born[00:02:26]
In the ghetto[00:02:31]
In the ghetto[00:02:34]
And his mama cries[00:02:37]
In the ghetto[00:02:43]
