Villag Ghetto Land
Stevie Wonder · Other Songs - Stevie Wonder
Down my dead-end street
Would you like to come with me
To Village Ghetto Land
See the people lock their doors
While others laugh and steal
Beggers watch and eat their meals -- from garbage cans
Broken glass is everywhere
It's a bloody scene
Killing plagues the citizen
Unless they own police
Children play with rusted cars
Sores cover their hands
Politicians laugh and drink -- drunk to all demands
Families buying dog food now
Starvation roams the streets
Babies die before they're born
Infected by the grief
Now some folks say that we should be
Glad for what we have
Tell me would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land
Village Ghetto Land
Villag Ghetto Land
