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

See the people lock their doors
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
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

  16. E.... S....

    Anybody listening to it in 2018?

    E.... S....

    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.

    E.... S....

    i...every day

    E.... S....

    is 2019 ok?

    E.... S....

    in 2019 too

  17. P.... P....

    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....

  18. S.... G....

    Wonderful song. Always love it. Genus Stevie Wonder. His masterpiece album. So many brilliant songs.

  19. T.... J....

    This is one on the saddest yet most beautiful songs EVER!!!

  20. B.... B....

    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.

    B.... B....

    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.

    B.... B....

    good synthesizer.

    B.... B....

    You can see Stevie play it in this video: "Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life - Ghetto Village Land"

  21. k.... t....

    Politicians still laugh and drink Drunk to all demands.

    k.... t....

    D.... J....

  24. M.... ....

    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

    M.... ....

  25. c.... ....
