Detroit City 2021

(álbum: Detroit Stories - 2021)

Me and Iggy were gigging with Ziggy and kicking with the MC5
Ted and Seger were burning with the fever
And Suzi Q was sharp as a knife

The kid was in his crib, and Shady wore a bib
And the Posse wasn't even alive
Shock rock, chopping block, songs to make your heart stop
Shove it into overdrive

Play it loud and fast
Make that guitar blast
Play it like today will be your last

Bleak town, sleak town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city

There was a riot raging downtown
Trying to burn the place down
The skies were glowing red and gray
But the grass keeps growing and the money keeps flowing
And the streets are still smoking today

Play it loud and fast
'Cause the blues are in the past
Play it like today might be your last

Bleak town, sleak town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city

Bleak town, sleak town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city

Shake it down, break it down
All around, hallowed ground
Lost and found, homeward bound
The Detroit sound is coming 'round

Lion town roaring down
Tiger town on the mound
Hockey town, shoot the puck
Take 'em down, don't give a what?
