The Ghetto Lyrics

If you ever lived in the ghetto It may be at the close of your day From your front-porch you can hear The sound of the juke-box Coming over from the neighborhood cafe Oh at noon you may hear the neighbors fussing When a kid, a little bit a kid breaks a window-pane And at night, yes at night you may be awaken By the sound of an outward bound train Well outsiders they refuse, refuse to help us And they down us for living the way we do But when you born. when you born the child of a poor man They say the ghetto is the only place for you Well if there's such, such a thing as here-after And I'm satisfy, yes I'm satisfy there may be Oh when they build, when they build a new Jerusalem There will be, there will be no more ghetto for you and me I said there will be no more ghetto for you and me
