《In the Ghetto》歌词

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

[00:00:05] As the snow flies

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

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

[00:00:16] In the ghetto

[00:00:21] And his mama cries

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

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

[00:00:32] In the ghetto

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:01] Well the world turns

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

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

[00:01:12] In the ghetto

[00:01:15] In the ghetto

[00:01:18] And his hunger burns

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

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

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

[00:01:28] In the ghetto

[00:01:31] In the ghetto

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

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

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

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

[00:01:45] And his mama cries

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

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

[00:01:57] In the ghetto

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

[00:02:05] In the ghetto

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

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

[00:02:15] In the ghetto

[00:02:20] And his mama cries

[00:02:23] In the ghetto

[00:02:28] In the ghetto
