Me and Iggy we’re giggin’ with Ziggy and kickin’ with the MC5
Ted and Seger were burnin’ with the fever
and Suzi Q as sharp as a knife
The kid was in his crib, shady wore a bib
and the posse wasn’t even alive
Shock rock choppin’ block, songs to make your heart stop
Shove it in ta overdrive
Playing loud and fast
Make that guitar blast
Playing like today will be your last…
Bling town, sling town, freak town, Detroit City
Downtown, Motown, my town, Detroit City
There’s a riot raging downtown
Tryin’ to burn the place down
Skies a glowin’ red and grey
But the grass keeps growin’
And the money keeps flowin’
And the states(?) are still smokin’ today
Playing loud and fast
Coz the blues are in the past
Playing like today might be your last…
Bling town, sling town, freak town, Detroit City
Downtown, Motown, my town, Detroit City
Bling town, sling town, freak town, Detroit City
Downtown, Motown, my town, Detroit City
Shake it down
Brake it down
All around
Hallowed ground
Lost and found
Homeward bound
The Detroit sound is comin’ round
Lion town goin’ down
Tiger town on the mound
Hockey town shoot the puck
Take ’em down, don’t give up
