Village Ghetto Land Lyrics

Artist: Stevie Wonder (Buy Stevie Wonder CDs)
Album: Songs In The Key Of Life

Would you like to go with me
Down my dead end street
Would you like to come with me
To Village Ghetto Land

See the people lock their doors
While robbers laugh and steal
Beggars watch and eat their meals-from garbage cans

Broken glass is everywhere
It's a bloody scene
Killing plagues the citizens
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

I would like to say is that this song along with all of yours song that I have gone up with are so beautiful and from the heart of a man that let the Most High share through you his heart, using your finger, your voice, giving you his eyesight to project his message to all that will hear his words. May the Most High God keep you in all that you do as well as think...You have blessed me...
