We Almost Lost Detroit

(album: It's A Corporate World - 2011)

It stands out on a highway
Like a Creature from another time
It inspires the babies' questions
For their mothers as they ride
But no one stopped to think about the babies
Or how they would survive

And we almost lost Detroit
This time. This time
We almost lost Detroit
This time. This time
Yeah we almost lost Detroit

Just thirty miles from Detroit
Stands a giant power station
And it ticks each night as the city sleeps
Seconds from annihilation
Oh, But no one stopped to think about the people
Or how they would survive

And yeah we almost lost Detroit
This time. This time
Yeah we almost lost Detroit
This time. This time
And we almost lost Detroit
This time. This time
And we almost lost Detroit
This time. This time
And we almost lost Detroit
