Ghetto Lyrics - Joan Baez

If you ever lived in a ghetto 

And maybe at the close of your day 

On your front porch you hear the sound of a jukebox 

From the neighbourhood cafe 

Well in the noon you may hear the neighbours fussing 

When a kid breaks a window pane 

In the night, in the night you may be wakened 

By the outbound train 

Well the rich folks they own the big city 

And they down us who living the way we do 

But when you're born a 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
