歌词
If you've ever lived in a ghetto, it may be at the close of your day
On your front porch, you'll hear the sound
Of a jukebox, oh, from a neighborhood café
At noon, you may hear neighbors fussing
When a kid breaks a window pane
Yeah
At night, at night, at night, oh, you may be
Awakened, ooh, by the sound of an outbound train
Outsiders, they refuse to help us
Yes, they do
And they're down on us for living the way we do
Mmm
But when you're born the child, the child of a poor man
Ooh, they say the ghetto is the only place for you
Mmm
But if there's a such thing as hereafter, and I'm
Satisfied, satisfied, oh, that there will be, ooh
Oh, when they build, when they build, when they build
New Jerusalem, mmm, there won't be no more ghetto for me
No, there won't
There won't be no more ghetto, ghetto for me
Believe I'll say it one more time
Listen
There won't be
Never, never, never
No more ghetto
Ghetto for me
Mmm
