In the Ghetto - Elvis Presley[00:00:00]

As the snow flies[00:00:05]

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'[00:00:10]

A poor little baby child is born[00:00:13]

In the ghetto[00:00:16]

And his mama cries[00:00:21]

'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need[00:00:27]

It's another hungry mouth to feed[00:00:29]

In the ghetto[00:00:32]

People don't you understand[00:00:37]

The child needs a helping hand[00:00:40]

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day[00:00:43]

Take a look at you and me[00:00:48]

Are we too blind to see[00:00:50]

Do we simply turn our heads[00:00:54]

And look the other way[00:00:57]

Well the world turns[00:01:01]

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose[00:01:07]

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows[00:01:10]

In the ghetto[00:01:12]

In the ghetto[00:01:15]

And his hunger burns[00:01:18]

So he starts to roam the streets at night[00:01:23]

And he learns how to steal[00:01:26]

And he learns how to fight[00:01:27]

In the ghetto[00:01:28]

In the ghetto[00:01:31]

Then one night in desperation[00:01:34]

The young man breaks away[00:01:37]

He buys a gun steals a car[00:01:39]

Tries to run but he don't get far[00:01:42]

And his mama cries[00:01:45]

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man[00:01:51]

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand[00:01:54]

In the ghetto[00:01:57]

And as her young man dies[00:02:02]

In the ghetto[00:02:05]

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'[00:02:08]

Another little baby child is born[00:02:11]

In the ghetto[00:02:15]

And his mama cries[00:02:20]

In the ghetto[00:02:23]

In the ghetto[00:02:28]
