As the snow flies

on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

a poor little baby child is born

in the ghetto 

And his mama cries

'cause if there's one thing that she don't need

it's another hungry mouth to feed

In the ghetto

People, don't you understand

the child needs a helping hand

or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day?

Take a look at you and me,

Are we too blind to see, or

do we simply turn our heads, and look the other way?

Well, the world turns.

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

plays in the street 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

3.1.-Well, the world turn

Then one night indesperation

the young man breaks away,

he buys a gun, he steals a car

he tries to run, but he don't get far

And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

face down on the street with a gun in his hand

In the ghetto 

And as her young man dies

4.1.-Then one night indesperation the young man breaks away

4.2.-He buys a gun, he steals a car he tries to run, but he don't get far
4.3.-As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down on the street witha gun in his hand
4.4.-and as her young man dies
