In The Ghetto - Elvis Presley lyrics

As the snow flies
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
a child needs a helping hand
or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
are we too blind to see,
and do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way

Well the world turns
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
plays in the street and the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns


so he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
the young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round
an angry young man
face down in the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
and as her young man dies,

on a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
