I'm the woman of the ghetto
Listen to me, legislator

Feed one child and starve another
Tell me, tell me, legislator
How do you make your
bread in the ghetto?

Baked from the souls of

Is that your answer, legislator?

My children learn just the same as yours,
long as nobody tries to close the door.
They cry with pain when the night is deep,
they close their eyes when they want to sleep.
I am the woman
you
