Leatherface - In The Ghetto lyrics

rate me

As the snow flies on a cold and gray Chicago morning<br />

Poor little baby child is born in the ghetto<br />

And his mama cries for if there's one thing that she don't need<br />

It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto<br />

People don't you understand the child needs a helping hand<br />

He's going to be an angry young man some day<br />

So take a look at you and me are we too blind to see<br />

Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way<br />

Well the world turns and a hungry little boy with a runny nose<br />

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto<br />

And his hunger burns so he starts to roam the street at night<br />

He learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto<br />

And then one night in desperation the young man breaks away<br />

He buys a gun steals a car he tries to run<br />

But he won't get far and his mama cries<br />

As the crowd gathers round the angry young man<br />

Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto<br />

As her young man dies on a cold and grey Chicago morning<br />

Poor little baby child is born in the ghetto and his mama cries
