Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - In The Ghetto Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (m. davies)
  • As the snow flies
  • On a cold and grey chicago morn
  • A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
  • And his mama cries
  • Cause theres one thing that she dont need
  • Is another little hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
  • Oh people dont you understand
  • This child needs a helping hand
  • Hes gonna grow to be an angry young man some day
  • Take a look at you and me
  • Are we that blind to see?
  • Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
  • And the world turns
  • And the hungry little boy with the runny nose
  • Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
  • And his hunger burns
  • So he starts to roam the streets at night
  • And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
  • Then one night in desperation
  • The young man breaks away
  • He buys a gun and steals a car
  • He tries to run but he dont get far
  • And his mama cries
  • A crowd gathers round an angry young man
  • Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
  • Oh people dont you understand
  • This child needs a helping hand
  • Hes gonna grow to be an angry young man some day
  • Take a look at you and me
  • Are we that blind to see?
  • Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
  • And as her young man dies
  • On a cold and grey chicago morn
  • Another little baby child is born in the ghetto
