Alice Cooper – Detroit City 2020 lyrics

Me and Iggy were giggin' with Ziggy and kickin' with the mc5
Ted and Seger were burnin' 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, choppin' 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 ragin' downtown, try-in' to burn the place down, the skies were glowin' red and gray
But the grass keeps growin' and the money keeps flowin', and the streets are still smokin' 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
Roarin' down
Tiger town
On the mound
Hockey town
Shoot the puck
Take 'em down
Don't give a what?
