	cervante should be more careful.

	I agree with the vicious cycle on this song. The thing about this song that really gets me is Elvis' ability to step into someone else's shoes even though he was rich and famous. And, he didn't grow up so well, so maybe he was writing from personal experience. Of course, this song would be funny if you listened to Cartman off of "Sout Park" sing it as they walk into Kenny's neighborhood. =]

	This is easily one of the greatest songs of all time!

	hey chamiga i like ur meaning and i totally agree. its such a sad beautful song, and la femme morte 89 obviously hasnt a clue wats going on, because the song is not about 'The Ghetto' entirely, i think when he says the ghetto, it could mean anywhere and its a beautful song with a lot of meaning for its time. im a big elvis fan!

	la_femme_morte89, Elvis was dirt poor growing up. Did you ever see the shack he lived in for the first 18 years of lhis life? And now you begrudge him for singing about the visciuos cyle of poverty? One that he know s and is grateful to have escaped. He gave millions to charity, how much do you give? And as Elvis sang, "Walk a mile in my(his) shoes" Bee-ahhch.

	cervante, are you talking to another personality or what? You know they say it's ok to talk to yourself, but when you start responding you might want to seek help. lol

	Also, listen to, "If I can dream" maybe if the dead woman (La Femme mort) had that kind of optimism, as others should, we'd all be living in a better world. Obtuse troglodytes like her should just go live in France, spoonge off thier socialism and fade away.

	Ok, yeah. It's a sad song. But if you can't take care of a kid, either stop screwing or wear a damn condom. I mean, come on. We're supposed to have sympathy for irresponsiblity?

Andrew Average	#10 by Andrew Locke at Oct 1, 2007 at 11:01 AM EST
	this song is so sad. It's about not being able to get out of poverty; being subjected to crime, hatred, prejudice; and when you finally die(probably after being in the mids of a gang shooting), another baby has born and he/she is to lead the same life you did.

birdman Average	#11 by birdman ethdh at Oct 3, 2007 at 6:08 AM EST
	okay, I know this song is supposed to be sad, but I just laugh hysterically every time I hear it. I mean, Elvis, singing about the ghetto? Too fucking funny

devon Average	#12 by devon at Oct 6, 2007 at 7:45 AM EST
	lol. he must have forgot he already posted a comment about it and then come back the following YEAR. hahaha that is hilarious.

Fat Man Goz Lead Player	#13 by Fat Man Goz at Oct 6, 2007 at 9:13 PM EST
	Strong lyrics. I think chamiga hit the nail on the head. Elvis himself came up poor but I don't think he was a criminal. But he did know about poverty.
