Tracy Chapman

In The Ghetto (duet With Natalie Merchant)

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another 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

Oh, well People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
O-or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Oh, people look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

As the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
Where he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Oh, People, don't you understand
This child needs a helping hand
O-or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
People look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
As the world turns

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
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 (In the ghetto)

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto x 2 (In the ghetto x 2)

Mirror lyrics:

In the ghetto x 2 (In the ghetto x 2)
Another little baby child is born
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
As her young man dies,

In the ghetto (In the ghetto)
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

And his mama cries
Tries to run, but he don't get far
He buys a gun, steals a car,
A young man breaks away
Then one night in desperation

As the world turns
And look the other way
Do we simply turn our heads
Are we too blind to see,
People look at you and me,
O-or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
This child needs a helping hand
Oh, People, don't you understand

In the ghetto
And he learns how to fight
Where he learns how to steal
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And his hunger burns

In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
As the world turns

And look the other way
Do we simply turn our heads
Are we too blind to see,
Oh, people look at you and me,
O-or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
The child needs a helping hand
Oh, well People, don't you understand

In the ghetto
It's another hungry mouth to feed
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
And his mama cries
In the ghetto
Another little baby child is born
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
As the snow flies
