1* AmbiguousSyntax: The "her" in the line "as her young man dies" near the end of "In The Ghetto" could refer to the slain young man's mother, who was mentioned a few lines earlier...or perhaps the young man's girlfriend who is giving birth to his child at the moment he dies, a child who will end up living the same life as his father if conditions continue as they are. After all, a girl's "young man" used to be another term for her boyfriend. (If that is the case, it certainly adds an extra reason as to why the youth turned to crime...he was desperate to provide for his child!)
