Oh Detroit, Lift Up Your Weary Head! (Rebuild! Restore! Reconsider!)
Once a great place, now a prison
All I can say, all I can do
People mover, bad decision, from suburban, now a prison
All I can say, all I can do
From the trembling walls, it's a great idea
Everything you want, it's a great idea
Once a great place, now a prison
All I can say, all I can do
Henry ford, henry ford
Public trans, public trans
Pontiac, Pontiac
Feed the poor, feed the poor
City hall, city hall
Windsor Park, Windsor Park
Saginaw, Saginaw
After dark, after dark
Tigers game, tigers game
Eighty-four, eighty-four
Industry, industry
Unemployed, unemployed
Gun control, gun control
Wolverine, Wolverine
Iroquois, Iroquois
Industry, industry
Public trans, public trans
Auto cars, auto cars
Jefferson, Jefferson
Michigan, Michigan
From the trembling walls, it's a great idea
Everything you want, it's a great idea
(Hesitate to burn the buildings)
From the Renaissance, it's a great idea
Everything you want, it's a great idea
Throw them all away, it's a great idea
From the Renaissance, it's a great idea
Everything you want
(Hesitate to burn the buildings)
All I can say, all I can do
People mover, bad decision, from suburban, now a prison
All I can say, all I can do
From the trembling walls, it's a great idea
Everything you want, it's a great idea
Once a great place, now a prison
All I can say, all I can do
Henry ford, henry ford
Public trans, public trans
Pontiac, Pontiac
Feed the poor, feed the poor
City hall, city hall
Windsor Park, Windsor Park
Saginaw, Saginaw
After dark, after dark
Tigers game, tigers game
Eighty-four, eighty-four
Industry, industry
Unemployed, unemployed
Gun control, gun control
Wolverine, Wolverine
Iroquois, Iroquois
Industry, industry
Public trans, public trans
Auto cars, auto cars
Jefferson, Jefferson
Michigan, Michigan
From the trembling walls, it's a great idea
Everything you want, it's a great idea
(Hesitate to burn the buildings)
From the Renaissance, it's a great idea
Everything you want, it's a great idea
Throw them all away, it's a great idea
From the Renaissance, it's a great idea
Everything you want
(Hesitate to burn the buildings)
