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

[Jonaldson Ha]

My son is the child old enough to hold the gun in this video. His footage was originally shot for a movie, "Black Water Transit", that was never released.  It was sold to Lisa Marie for this video shortly afterwards.

A beautiful moving duet with two beautiful people. Lisa Marie, your dad would be so proud! You are a beautiful young lady, and why not you had a gorgeous Mom, and your dad was without a doubt the most handsome man ever!

Its a very moving duet, but I hate that cliched image of the African American baby and the gun. Babies have rights and no responsible parent would allow theirs to be exploited this way infront of millions no matter how important the message. Just like some people should never own guns, the same it seems applies to people with cameras. And for the record, ghettos consists of all colours.
