《In the Ghetto》歌词

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

[00:00:06] As the snow flies

[00:00:12] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:00:14] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:17] In the ghetto

[00:00:22] And his mama cries

[00:00:28] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:30] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:33] In the ghetto

[00:00:39] People don't you understand

[00:00:41] The child needs a helping hand

[00:00:45] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:49] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:52] Are we too blind to see

[00:00:55] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:00:58] And look the other way

[00:01:03] Well the world turns

[00:01:09] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:11] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:14] In the ghetto

[00:01:19] And his hunger burns

[00:01:25] So he starts to roam the streets at night

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

[00:01:28] And he learns how to fight

[00:01:30] In the ghetto

[00:01:36] Then one night in desperation

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

[00:01:41] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:01:44] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:01:54] And his mama cries

[00:01:55] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:01:57] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

[00:01:59] In the ghetto

[00:02:04] And as her young man dies

[00:02:10] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:02:12] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:16] In the ghetto

[00:02:22] And his mama cries
