In the Ghetto by Elvis...one of my favorites

As the snow flies.
On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another liitle baby child is born
In the ghetto

And his mother cries ( in the ghetto )
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need,
it's another little hungry
mouth to feed In the ghetto

Now people don't you understand The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow up to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me Are we too blind to see
Or do we just turn our heads and look the other way

As the world turns
and a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the streets
as the cold wind blows
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

And 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 mother cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down in the street
with a gun in his hand
as her young man dies
on a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries

I don't know who sings it on a reality show, but it was done on the Drew Carrey show on a karaoke episode.

It's called "The Ghetto". I don't know if it's the same version, but Elvis Presley was the first to sing it way back in the sixties.

"In The Ghetto"
The first person I've ever heard sing this was Elvis Presley in the '60s.
I've also heard it done by Natalie Merchant (10,000 Maniacs) with Tracy Chapman.
Although it's fairly depressing, it's a great song.
