In the Ghetto - Elvis Presley

[00:05.75]as the snow flies
[00:11.26]on a cold and gray chicago mornin
[00:14.21]a poor little baby child is born
[00:16.77]in the ghetto
[00:18.79]
[00:22.15]and his mama cries
[00:27.76]cause if theres one thing that she dont need
[00:30.43]its another hungry mouth to feed
[00:33.22]in the ghetto
[00:34.78]
[00:38.39]people, dont you understand
[00:40.85]the child needs a helping hand
[00:44.25]or hell grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:49.09]take a look at you and me,
[00:51.65]are we too blind to see,
[00:55.10]do we simply turn our heads
[00:58.11]and look the other way
[01:01.08]
[01:02.20]well the world turns
[01:07.97]and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:11.01]plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:13.42]in the ghetto
[01:15.27]
[01:18.76]and his hunger burns
[01:24.23]so he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:27.00]and he learns how to steal
[01:28.21]and he learns how to fight
[01:29.54]in the ghetto
[01:31.84]
[01:35.36]then one night in desperation
[01:37.96]the young man breaks away
[01:40.54]he buys a gun, steals a car,
[01:43.51]tries to run, but he dont get far
[01:46.58]and his mama cries
[01:50.10]
[01:52.84]as a crowd gathers round an angry young man
[01:55.32]face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[01:57.99]in the ghetto
[01:59.91]
[02:03.31]and as her young man dies,
[02:08.99]on a cold and gray chicago mornin,
[02:11.75]another little baby child is born
[02:15.76]in the ghetto
[02:18.95]
[02:21.74]and his mama cries
[02:27.57]
[02:47.93]
