We Almost Lost Detroit - Gil Scott-Heron
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 losing our minds
Just thirty miles from Detroit
Stands a giant power station
It ticks each night as the city sleeps
Seconds from annihilation
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 losing our minds
The sherrif of Monroe County had
Sure enough disasters on his mind
And what would karen Silkwood say
Uhh
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 losing 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 lose somewhere one time
Odds are we gonna lose somewhere sometime
And how would we ever get over losing our minds
And how would we ever get over losing our minds
Didn't they didn't they decide
Aah yeah
Almost lost Detroit that time
D**n near totally destroyed one time
Didn't all of the world know
Say didn't you know
Didn't all of the world know
Say didn't you know
Come on
We almost lost Detroit
D**n near totally destroyed
Yes you know it all one more
You said than this you said than
