In The Ghetto

As the snow flies
随着雪花飘落
On a cold and gray Chicago morning
在芝加哥一个阴冷的早晨
A poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto
在贫民窟里
And his mama cries

Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
因为对于她来说 孩子是多余的
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
看看你和我
Are we too blind to see
我们是否太冷漠
Do we simply turn our heads
我们能否简单地转身离开
And look the other way
前往他处
Well the world turns
然而世事流转
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
饥饿的小男孩流着鼻涕
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
在寒风凛冽的街道上玩耍
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
在贫民窟里
Then one night in desperation

The 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 around an angry young man

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

In the ghetto

And as her young man dies
