《In The Ghetto (Alternate Take 4)》歌词

[00:00:01] In The Ghetto-Elvis Presley

[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

[00:00:23] And his mama cries

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

[00:00:31] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:34] 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

[00:00:52] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:55] Are we too blind to see

[00:00:58] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:01:06] And look the other way

[00:01:12] Well the world turns

[00:01:14] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:23] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:28] In the ghetto

[00:01:29] And his hunger burns

[00:01:31] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:33] And he learns how to steal

[00:01:34] And he learns how to fight

[00:01:36] In the ghetto

[00:01:40] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:43] The young man breaks away

[00:01:45] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:01:48] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:01:53] And his mama cries

[00:01:59] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:02:01] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

[00:02:04] In the ghetto

[00:02:09] And as her young man dies

[00:02:15] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

[00:02:17] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:20] In the ghetto

[00:02:28] And his mama cries
