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 

loosing our minds? 

Just thirty miles from Detroit 

stands a giant power station. 

It ticks each night as the city sleeps 

seconds from anniahlation. 

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 loosing our minds? 

The sherrif of Monroe county had, 

sure enough disasters on his mind, 

and what would karen Silkwood say 

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 loosing 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 loose somewhere, one time. 

Odds are 

we gonna loose somewhere sometime. 

And how would we ever get over 

loosing our minds? 

And how would we ever get over 

loosing our minds? 

Didn't they, didn't they decide? 

Almost lost Detroit 

that time. 

Damn 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? 

We almost lost detroit...
