The Ghetto
Delaney & Bonnie
Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
If you ever live in a ghetto Maybe at the close of your day On your front porch you'll hear the sound of a jukebox From a neighbourhood cafe Well at noon you may hear the neighbours fussin' When a kid breaks a window pane And at night - and at night you may be wakened By the sound of the out- outbound train The rich folks they own the big city And they down us for living the way we do But when you're born the child of a poor man You know the ghetto is the only place for you Well if there's such a thing as revolution And there will be if we rise to the call When we build we build we build we build the New Jerusalem There won't be no more ghetto - ghetto at all No there won't be no more ghetto - ghetto at all
