[00:02.315]the  cranberries -In  The  Ghetto
[00:04.51]（words &music  by  Scott  Davis）
[00:06.159]As  the  snow  flies
[00:08.176]On  a  cold  and  gray  Chicago  mornin'
[00:14.229]A  poor  little  baby  child  is  born
[00:17.34]In  the  ghetto
[00:22.438]And  his  mama  cries
[00:27.309]'Cause  if  there's  one  thing  that  she  don't  need
[00:31.89]It's  another  hungry  mouth  to  feed
[00:34.23]In  the  ghetto
[00:39.458]So  people  what's  you  understand
[00:41.274]The  child  needs  a  helping  hand
[00:45.703]Or  he'll  grow  to  be  an  angry  young  man  some  day
[00:50.593]Take  a  look  at  you  and  me
[00:53.698]Are  we  too  blind  to  see
[00:56.679]Do  we  simply  turn  our  heads
[00:59.918]And  look  the  other  way
[01:04.98]Well  the  world  turns
[01:07.383]And  a  poor  little  boy  with  a  runny  nose
[01:12.458]Plays  in  the  street  as  the  cold  wind  blows
[01:15.698]In  the  ghetto
[01:20.203]And  his  hunger  burns
[01:24.699]So  he  starts  to  roam  the  streets  at  night
[01:30.198]And  he  learns  how  to  steal
[01:31.571]And  he  learns  how  to  fight
[01:32.906]In  the  ghetto
[01:36.432]Then  one  night  in  desperation
[01:41.298]The  young  man  breaks  away
[01:44.127]He  buys  a  gun  steals  a  car
[01:46.623]Tries  to  run  but  he  don't  get  far
[01:51.783]And  his  mama  cries
[01:56.966]As  a  crowd  gathers 'round  an  angry  young  man
[02:01.898]Face  down  on  the  street  with  a  gun  in  his  hand
[02:04.712]In  the  ghetto
[02:07.607]And  as  her  young  man  dies
[02:15.43]On  a  cold  and  gray  Chicago  mornin'
[02:18.668]Another  little  baby  child  is  born
[02:21.805]In  the  ghetto
[02:27.192]In  the  ghetto
[02:30.703]In  the  ghetto
