Sono stato al cinema a vedere il film "Elvis" sulla vita del re del rock con un grande Tom Hanks nella parte del colonnello Parker, produttore e "padrone" della vita musicale e non del rocker. Per la canzone del giorno che pubblico oggi perchè sono tornato dal cinema dopo mezzanotte ho scelto "In the ghetto" che è uno dei brani dei titoli di coda. Brano inciso nel 1969 e presente nel disco "From Elvis in Memphis". Buon ascolto!!In the ghetto (Elvis Presley)[Verse 1]As the snow fliesOn a cold and gray Chicago morningA poor little baby child is bornIn the ghettoAnd his mama criesCause if there’s one thing that she don’t needIt’s another little hungry mouth to feedIn the ghetto[Verse 2]People, don’t you understandA child needs a helping handOr he’ll grow to be an angry young man some dayTake a look at you and meAre we too blind to seeDo we simply turn our headsAnd look the other way[Verse 3]Well the world turnsAnd a hungry little boy with a runny nosePlays in the street as the cold wind blowsIn the ghetto[Verse 4]And his hunger burnsSo he starts to roam the streets at nightAnd he learns how to stealAnd he learns how to fightIn the ghetto[Verse 5]Then one night in desperationA young man breaks awayHe buys a gun, He steals a carTries to run, but he don’t get farAnd his mama cries[Bridge]As a crowd gathers ‘round an angry young manFace down on the street with a gun in his handIn the ghetto[Verse 6]And as her young man diesOn a cold and gray Chicago morningAnother little baby child is bornIn the ghettoAnd his mama criesIn the ghetto
