Ghetto Sidewalk

Lee “Scratch” Perry

[Scat Singing: Lee Perry]

[Verse 1: Lee Perry]
The fascination of evil
Throw good things into the shade
On the whirlwind of desire
....Hold up the simple [high?]

[Chorus: Lee Perry]
Don't think I'm vicious
Don't think I'm [propitious?]
Don't think I'm malicious
I'm just a little suspicious

[Verse 2: Lee Perry]
[I have a grouse?]
[I have a grouse?]
[I have a grouse?]
[I have a grouse, it goes?]

We need some light on the ghetto sidewalk
We're tired of stumbling in the dark

One thing I'd like to know:
Where does the taxpayer money go?
One thing I'd like to know:
Where does the taxpayer money goes?
Oooooh, ooooh

Children crying
Their mother sighing
The people dying
No one are trying

The fascination of evil
Throw good things into the [shade?/ship?]
And the whirlwind of desire
Throw up a simple [high?]

Don't think I'm vicious
Don't think I'm [pro...?]
Don't say I'm malicious
Just a little suspicious

Suspicious
Suspicious
Suspicious
Suspicious

We need some light on the ghetto sidewalk
We're tired of stumbling in the dark

Don't think I'm vicious
Don't think I'm [pro...?]
Don't say I'm malicious
Just a little suspicious

Suspicious
Suspicious
Suspicious
Suspicious

We need some like on the ghetto sidewalk
We're tired of stumbling in the dark

We need some like on the ghetto sidewalk
