Nick Cave And The Bad Seed - In The Ghetto Lyrics

Send "In The Ghetto" ringtone to your cell

As the snow flies

On a cold and gray chicago morn'

A poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto

And his momma cries

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

It's another little hungry mouth to feed

In the ghetto

Oh people don't you understand?

This child needs a helping hand

He's gonna grow to be

An angry young man some day

Woah 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 a 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

Young man breaks away

He buys a gun and steals a car

He tries to run but he don't 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 don't you understand?

Oh this child needs a helping hand

He's gonna grow to be

An angry young man some day

Hey 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 gray chicago morn'

Another little baby child is born

In the ghetto in the ghetto

In the ghetto in the ghetto
