WRITERS STEVIE WONDER, SYREETA WRIGHT



See how the world is scared, on the street turning bare

Most of the new is bad, crime just breeds in the air

Sad is the song, rolling along, everything is happenin'

Weired is the tune, now we are doomed, everything is happenin'

Cost of living's up, but the pay is low down

Hate to see the baby starve ‘cause Mama can't be found

Sister lives alone, bolts and chains her door at night

Never ever walks an alley or a shorter way

See how the world is scared, on the street turning bare

Most of the new is bad, crime just breeds in the air

Sad is the song, rolling along, everything is happenin'

Brother Bill's gone fighting in a place where he's a stranger

But could men die a stranger in every war?

We all hide is shame, boldly pointing to another

When the blame we know for sure is right in ourselves

In ourselves, in ourselves, in oursleves

See how the world is scared, on the street turning bare

Most of the new is bad, crime just breeds in the air

Sad is the song, rolling along, everything is happenin'
