In The Ghetto-Elvis Presley

[00:05.36]As the snow flies [00:10.37]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' [00:13.87]A poor little baby child is born [00:16.43]In the ghetto [00:21.86]And his mama cries [00:27.49]'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need [00:30.30]It's another hungry mouth to feed [00:33.24]In the ghetto [00:38.61]People, don't you understand [00:41.05]The child needs a helping hand [00:44.49]Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day [00:52.17]Take a look at you and me, [00:54.86]Are we too blind to see, [00:58.24]Do we simply turn our heads [01:00.92]And look the other way [01:05.68]Well the world turns [01:11.30]And a hungry little boy with a runny nose [01:14.30]Plays in the street as the cold wind blows [01:16.67]In the ghetto [01:20.17] [01:22.68]And his hunger burns [01:24.55] [01:28.30]So he starts to roam the streets at night [01:31.05]And he learns how to steal [01:32.67]And he learns how to fight [01:33.92]In the ghetto [01:37.05] [01:39.99]Then one night in desperation [01:42.17]The young man breaks away [01:44.92]He buys a gun, steals a car, [01:47.93]Tries to run, but he don't get far [01:51.11]And his mama cries [01:58.24]As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man [02:00.73]Face down on the street with a gun in his hand [02:03.68]In the ghetto [02:07.23]And as her young man dies, [02:14.80]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin', [02:17.80]Another little baby child is born [02:20.42]In the ghetto [02:28.05]And his mama cries [02:33.04]
