In the Ghetto - Petticoat[00:00:00]
As the snow flies[00:00:00]
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'[00:00:07]
A poor little baby child is born[00:00:10]
In the ghetto[00:00:12]
And his mama cries[00:00:18]
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need[00:00:25]
It's another hungry mouth to feed[00:00:28]
In the ghetto[00:00:31]
People don't you understand[00:00:37]
The child needs a helping hand[00:00:40]
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day [00:00:44]
Take a look at you and me[00:00:49]
Are we too blind to see[00:00:52]
Do we simply turn our heads[00:00:56]
And look the other way [00:01:00]
Well the world turns[00:01:07]
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose[00:01:14]
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows[00:01:17]
In the ghetto[00:01:20]
And his hunger burns[00:01:26]
So he starts to roam the streets at night[00:01:32]
And he learns how to steal[00:01:35]
And he learns how to fight[00:01:37]
In the ghetto[00:01:39]
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 but he don't get far[00:01:55]
And his mama cries[00:02:02]
In the ghetto[00:02:05]
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man[00:02:09]
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand[00:02:12]
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)[00:02:15]
And as her young man dies[00:02:21]
In the ghetto[00:02:24]
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'[00:02:27]
Another little baby child is born[00:02:30]
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)[00:02:38]
In the ghetto[00:02:48]
