Elvis Presley live 1970 Las Vegas THAT’S THE WAY IT IS Songtext: In the Ghetto As the snow flies On a cold and grey Chicago morning A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto And his mama cries ’cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need It’s another hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto. Oh, People, don’t you understand A 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? Well, the world turns And a hungry little boy with a running nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto 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 Then one night in desperation the young man breaks away, He buys a gun, he steals a car, He tries to run, but he don’t get far and his mama cries, As the crowd gathers round an angry young man face down in the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto. And as her young man died On a cold and grey Chicago morning Another little baby child is born In the ghetto, And his Mama cries In the ghetto
