IN THE GHETTO
By Elvis Presley
ADJECTIVES
As the snow flies
On a .............. and .............. Chicago morning
A ............. ............. ............. child is born
In the ghetto.
And his mama cries
‘Cause if there’s one thing she doesn’t need
It’s another .............. mouth to feed
In the ghetto.
<>()<>
Ah, people don’t you understand
A child needs your ............. hand;
He’s going to be an .............. young man some day
Oh, take a look at you and me,
Are we too............ to see?
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way?
<>()<>
Well the world turns
And a .............. little boy with a ............. nose
Plays in the street and the .............. 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 ............. man breaks away.
He buys a gun and steals a car;
He tries to run but he doesn’t get far,
And his mama cries
<>()<>
As the crowd gathers round an .............. ............. man,
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto.
And as a ............. man dies
On a .............. and ............. Chicago morning,
Another ............. .............. child is born
In the ghetto.
And his mama cries
