Ub40 - Guns in The Ghetto lyrics

Daddy don't go out tonight

Just stay home till morning light

Me and mamma don't feel right

Please hold us tight

Daddy why did you go to work

When you know just how much we love you so

Please come back tomorrow

They're giving out guns in the ghetto

They're saying they will set you free

One day I'll have children of my own

But I'm afraid they won't have me

Mamma, is Daddy home

Why are you crying all alone

Grandma's tears have turned to stone

And I'm all alone

Mamma isn't daddy back

I'm getting scared and that's a fact

Why are we all dressed like that

All in black

They're giving out guns in the ghetto

They're saying they will set you free

One day I'll have children of my own

But I'm afraid they won't have me

Daddy don't go out tonight

Please stay home till morning light

Me and mamma don't feel right

Please hold us tight

Daddy why did you go to work

When you know just how much we love you so

Please come back tomorrow

They're giving out guns in the ghetto

They're saying they will set you free

One day I'll have children of my own

But I'm afraid they won't have me

Mamma, is Daddy home

Why are you crying all alone

Grandma's tears have turned to stone

And I'm chilled to the bone

Mamma isn't daddy back

I'm getting scared and that's a fact

Why are we all dressed like that

All in black
