Elvis Presley In The Ghetto (
The Vicious Circle) ==================================
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 needit's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don't you understandthe child needs a helping handor 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 headsand look the other way
Well the world turnsand a hungry little boy with a runny noseplays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burnsso he starts to roam the streets at nightand he learns how to stealand he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperationa 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 manface down in the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
As her young man dies,on a cold and grey Chicago mornin',another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
In the ghetto
In the ghetto
