Song lyrics:

AS THE SNOW FLIES
ON A COLD AND GREY
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
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

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 'ROUND
AN ANGRY YOUNG MAN
FACE DOWN IN THE STREET
WITH A GUN IN HIS HAND
IN THE GHETTO

AND AS HER YOUNG MAN DIES
ON A COLD AND GREY
CHICAGO MORNIN'
ANOTHER LITTLE
BABY CHILD IS BORN
IN THE GHETTO

AND HIS MAMA CRIES
