In The Ghetto

Ya hemos llegado al viernes! Para terminar esta semana dedicada a canciones relacionadas con Ruby, nos despedimos con este temazo dedicado a Zed Shaw...

In the ghetto, de Elvis Presley As the snow flies On a cold and gray chicago mornin A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto And his mama cries cause if theres one thing that she dont need Its another hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto

People, dont you understand The child needs a helping hand Or hell 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 runny 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 A young man breaks away He buys a gun, steals a car, Tries to run, but he dont get far And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers round an angry young man Face down on the street with a gun in his hand In the ghetto

As her young man dies, On a cold and gray chicago mornin, Another little baby child is born In the ghetto

Y con esto nos despedimos de este especial... Es una pena no haber encontrado el vídeo de la canción que me dió la idea de hacer este especial, "Ruby Dear", de Talking Heads, pero no se puede tener todo en la vida!

Quedan muchas canciones relacionadas con Ruby, os reto a buscar canciones para Rails... y ya puestos, para Merb! Eso si que tendrá mérito...
