Lyrics

(Bbm7)Would you like to go with me

star (Bbm7)down my dead end street?

(Gb)Would you like to come with me

to (Ab)vil lage ghet to land?

Now, (Bbm7)See the peo ple lock their doors

while (Bbm7)rob bers laugh and steal;

(Gb)beg gars watch and eat their meals

in (Ab)from to gar bage cans.

(Bbm7)Bro ken glass is ev ’ry where;

star (Bbm7)it’s a blood y scene.

(Gb)Kill ing plagues the cit i zens

un (Ab)less they own po lice.

Now, (Bbm7)Chil dren play with rust ed cars;

while (Bbm7)sores cov er their hands.

(Gb)Pol i ti cians laugh and drink,

in (Ab)drunk lage all de mands.

(Ab)Vil lage ghet to (Ab7)land.
