Children Playing In The Streets

Children playing in the streets
In-broken bottles and rubbish-heaps
There is a little baby got nothing to eat
Cause the law
In the ghetto, bitter was sweet
Sitting in the darkness, searching for the light
Struggling in the ghetto, trying to do the right
Playing in the ghetto, searching for the light
Mother's screaming, "Wash the car!"
But the hit-and-run man had gone too far
Sitting in the darkness, searching for the light
Struggling in the ghetto, trying to do the right
Playing in the ghetto, searching for the light
In the ghetto, bitter was sweet
And all that sweet will rot your teeth
Sitting in the darkness, searching for the light
Struggling in the ghetto, trying to do the right
Playing in the ghetto, searching for the light
Mother's screaming, "Wash the car!"
Hey, kid! Wash that car!
But the hit-and-run man had gone too far
Sitting in the darkness, searching for the light
Struggling in the ghetto, trying to do the right
Playing in the ghetto, searching for the light
