"Detroit City 2021" lyrics - ALICE COOPER

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
Tryin' 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?
