دانلود آهنگ In the Ghetto از Elvis Presley

This song is about the cycle of poverty and violence, using bookends to imply that the baby being born at the end of the song is going to meet the same fate as the young man who dies. It also doubles as a call to action for the listener, saying that without help the protagonist will “grow to be an angry young man someday” yet seemingly already defeated as Elvis notes that we’ll be tempted to look the other way as the world keeps turning.

متن آهنگ In the Ghetto Elvis Presley

[00:05.25] As the snow flies
[00:10.74] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[00:13.90] A poor little baby child is born
[00:16.46] In the ghetto
[00:19.22] (In the ghetto)
[00:21.97] And his mama cries
[00:27.33] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:30.18] It is another hungry mouth to feed
[00:33.01] In the ghetto
[00:35.75] (In the ghetto)
[00:37.92] People, don't you understand
[00:40.61] The child needs a helping hand
[00:43.86] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:48.66] Take a look at you and me
[00:51.45] Are we too blind to see?
[00:54.91] Do we simply turn our heads
[00:57.87] And look the other way
[01:01.82] Well, the world turns
[01:07.59] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:10.94] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:13.22] In the ghetto
[01:16.28] (In the ghetto)
[01:18.29] And his hunger burns
[01:23.80] So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:26.91] And he learns how to steal
[01:28.42] And he learns how to fight
[01:29.62] In the ghetto
[01:32.40] (In the ghetto)
[01:35.29] Then one night in desperation
[01:37.86] The young man breaks away
[01:40.56] He buys a gun, steals a car
[01:43.14] Tries to run, but he don't get far
[01:46.61] And his mama cries
[01:52.77] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
[01:55.41] Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[01:58.32] In the ghetto
[02:00.84] (In the ghetto)
[02:03.04] And as her young man dies
[02:06.21] (In the ghetto)
[02:08.75] On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[02:11.98] Another little baby child is born
[02:15.93] In the ghetto
[02:18.97] (In the ghetto)
[02:21.55] And his mama cries
[02:24.40] (In the ghetto)
[02:29.73] (In the ghetto)
[02:34.96] (Ah)
[02:37.21]
