Flint City Shake It
Detroit rock, baby that's a fact
And when Bobby said, deffo better get back Jack
Well, you've gotta be tough but there's a good time to be had
I'd like to think everybody here knows that
So let's talk about a place that you might not know
Just a little further on up the road
Well, you know about mhm, baby let's get down to the bones
Tell you 'bout a place that really made America roll
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll
Now the truth is, we ain't what we used to be
Whole lotta trouble come to our streets
The only one to blame is GMC
If you don't know, baby, let me tell you how I mean
We built Buick cars, GM trucks
Chevy engines, AC sparkplugs
Built planes for the war back in '41
Every piece straight from the ground on up
Then trouble come in '86
With this son of a bitch named Roger Smith
Cut our throat with a stroke of a fountain pen
We're knocked down but we're gonna get up again
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll (roll)
Well, there ain't no work and everybody's hurtin'
It's been that way for a while
They ain't got a sleepgrass yet there
Flint City knows how to have a good time
Well, we might be poor and we might be rough
We're just good people down on our luck
And you know it seems nobody cares about us
We just ain't accountin' to give up
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll (roll)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll
And when Bobby said, deffo better get back Jack
Well, you've gotta be tough but there's a good time to be had
I'd like to think everybody here knows that
So let's talk about a place that you might not know
Just a little further on up the road
Well, you know about mhm, baby let's get down to the bones
Tell you 'bout a place that really made America roll
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll
Now the truth is, we ain't what we used to be

Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Let 'em all know (let 'em all know)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll (roll)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll
