| It stands out on a highway
|
| Like a Creature from another time
|
| It inspires the babies' questions
|
| «What's that?»
|
| 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
|
| How would we ever get over
|
| Loosing our minds?
|
| Just thirty miles from Detroit
|
| Stands a giant power station
|
| It ticks each night as the city sleeps
|
| Seconds from anniahlation
|
| But no one stopped to think about the people
|
| Or how they would survive
|
| And we almost lost Detroit
|
| This time
|
| How would we ever get over
|
| Over loosing our minds?
|
| The sherrif of Monroe county had
|
| Sure enough disasters on his mind
|
| And what would karen Silkwood say
|
| If she was still alive?
|
| That when it comes to people’s safety
|
| Money wins out every time
|
| And we almost lost Detroit
|
| This time, this time
|
| How would we ever get over
|
| Over loosing our minds?
|
| You see, we almost lost Detroit
|
| That time
|
| Almost lost Detroit
|
| That time
|
| And how would we ever get over…
|
| Cause odds are
|
| We gonna loose somewhere, one time
|
| Odds are
|
| We gonna loose somewhere sometime
|
| And how would we ever get over
|
| Loosing our minds?
|
| And how would we ever get over
|
| Loosing our minds?
|
| Didn’t they, didn’t they decide?
|
| Almost lost Detroit
|
| That time
|
| Damn near totally destroyed
|
| One time
|
| Didn’t all of the world know?
|
| Say didn’t you know?
|
