Lisa Marie & Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto

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

(Lisa Marie Presley)

'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

(Lisa Marie Presley and Elvis Presley)

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

(Lisa Maire Presley)

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

(Elvis Presley)

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

(Lisa Marie Presley and Elvis Presley)

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

I'd like this better without the random black baby w/ a gun.

Love the audio, but I could live without all the footage of babies with guns!! I'd like it a LOT better if it was just the back and forth shots between Lisa Marie and her dad. I’d also like the arrangement much better if the last line of the song had still been “and his momma cried…” . That element is, IMHO, one of the most strking aspects of this song, the full circle it makes, which is driven home by that last line. But still, it was really nice hearing this father-daughter duet! :)

seine augen sind Müde, sie hat sein Leben in ihren Augen und das Graziale ihrer Mama

der Tribut an ihren Vater mit diesem Song ist einfach nur perfekt
