Elvis Presley-In The Ghetto lyrics

As the snow flies  
  On a cold and gray 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  
  the 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,  
  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  
 as 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  
  a 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 on the street  
 with a gun in his hand  
  In the ghetto  
    
  As her young man dies,  
  on a cold and gray Chicago mornin`,  
  another little baby child is born  
  In the ghetto
