We Almost Lost Detroit - Gil Scott-Heron

It stands out on the highway

Like a creature from another time

It inspires the babies' questions

For their mothers as they rides

Here by

No one stopped to think about the babies or

What says the how they will survive

And we almost lost Detroit

This time

How will we ever get over

Losing our minds

Just thirty miles from Detroit

The built a giant power station

And it ticks each night as the city sleeps

Won baby

Seconds from annihilation

Hay but

No one stopped to think about the people or

Just the how they will survive

Oh yes we all most lost tee the all I

This time

Yeah hay all this time

And how could we ever get over
