[00:00.00]In the Ghetto (with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) - Elvis Presley/Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
[00:11.50]As the snow flies
[00:17.10]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[00:20.24]A poor little baby child is born
[00:22.66]In the ghetto
[00:25.36]In the ghetto
[00:28.12]And his mama cries
[00:33.56]'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:36.29]It's another hungry mouth to feed
[00:39.20]In the ghetto
[00:41.70]In the ghetto
[00:44.29]People don't you understand
[00:46.69]The child a needs helping hand
[00:50.09]Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:54.98]Take a look at you and me
[00:57.45]Are we too blind to see
[01:00.83]Do we simply turn our heads you look
[01:04.73]The other way
[01:08.07]Well the world turns
[01:14.00]And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:17.11]Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:19.52]In the ghetto
[01:22.08]In the ghetto
[01:24.90]And his hunger burns
[01:30.25]So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:33.11]And he learns how to steal
[01:34.43]And he to learns fighthow
[01:35.80]In the ghetto
[01:38.28]In the ghetto
[01:41.34]Then one night in desperation
[01:44.02]The young man breaks away
[01:46.50]He buys a gun steals a car
[01:49.55]Tries to run but he don't get far
[01:53.01]And his mama cries
[01:58.81]As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
[02:01.65]Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[02:04.23]In the ghetto
[02:06.76]In the ghetto
[02:09.64]And as her young man dies
[02:12.53]In the ghetto
[02:15.25]On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[02:18.01]Another little baby child is born
[02:21.91]In the ghetto
[02:25.13]In the ghetto
[02:27.82]And his mama cries
[02:30.76]In the ghetto
[02:35.96]In the ghetto
[02:41.38]In the ghetto
[02:46.86]In the ghetto
[02:52.41]In the ghetto
[02:57.91]In the ghetto
