Stevie Wonder - Village Ghetto Land Lyrics
Would you like to go with me
Down my dead end street
Would you like to come with me
To Village Ghetto Land
While robbers laugh and steal
Beggars watch and eat their meal - 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
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

My favorite Stevie Wonder song everrrrrrrrrrr
2020 anyone
This should be in every music room school curriculum across the world.
Funny how one can be blind but hip to the bs in this world and mfs who can see have no clue what's going on.
Magnifique
Very Mozart inspired!!
sometimes when i listen to this song,i picture myself as a rich man doing rich man activities.
Absolutely cult
What a melody.
goede content, kan beter
Sample hunting
I want to put this to a matching Montage of my upcoming film(the voodoo krew)
Suprising how realistic the analog strings from the gx-1 can really be.
2019?
My mum used to play this song when I was a kid.

Anybody listening to it in 2018?
Emii Senpai Yup...one of the best songs on the album. The sheer irony of Stevie’s poignant, visceral lyrical content and delivery against the backdrop of the high society orchestral musical arrangement is pure genius and only enhances the power of the words he’s speaking. On one hand you’re imagining a fancy dinner at a privileged wealthy estate and on the other hand you’re feeling the pure desperation of the community Stevie’s describing and how incredibly immoral it is that such a wealth and power gap could existing between people in this country.
i...every day
is 2019 ok?
in 2019 too
Stevie and his genius self.....
Great piece of work pulled from the shelf fa me to listen.....
Brotha was no doubt on a prophetic mission......
Great art and skill ....
They care not about life is why they kill......
Calling out to the Universe fa help from a spook of a man....
They doo as they will is a designed well orchestrated planedout lifestyle crocodile tears no emotions no feeling shady underground dealings.....
They say join us and bow to Satan aint it appealing??
Poverty and lack.....
Monopoly money in stacks......
Luxury cars and furnished homes and the whisper from those who danced with the devil saying let it burn with no love or concern.....
In a new reality it will be yoo and my turn......
The next Sojourn....
Wonderful song. Always love it. Genus Stevie Wonder. His masterpiece album. So many brilliant songs.
This is one on the saddest yet most beautiful songs EVER!!!
I think it says something (other than about my intelligence) that the backing is so obviously a synthesizer and yet i thought it was a real chamber ensemble for the longest time. Beautiful.
Smack Bramhall it's a Yamaha GX1, a sort of test bed for future development, making the strings. An almighty brute of a synth. Only 16 made, and Wonder got one of 'em. Guy is a genius and a living legend.
good synthesizer.
You can see Stevie play it in this video: "Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life - Ghetto Village Land"
Politicians still laugh and drink Drunk to all demands.
Social systen US is bad
Incredible
in America this is apalling in 2016 that this is a Reality .
Donald Trump is one of the dislikes and so is Hillary Clinton lol. The third some poor bloke who's not coping well with becoming impoverished 😢😢 my heart goes out to you.
Demetrius Jones Right on man
Fuck politics just be woke
Grow up. Old heads can’t handle socials
You old niggas act just like hoes on a keyboard wtf.
This is even more true in 2016 in that now it applies to a large swath of the rural middle American white population as well
it applied to a large swath of white rural AND URBAN WORKING CLASS and POOR back when it was published as well nothing has really changed
1976 - 2016
Cries while orgasming to music.
Yee but system is shit and did Stevie give some millions to the poor ????....
that analog synth sounds so good.
