Lyrics We Almost Lost Detroit (Live) - Gil Scott-Heron

It stands out on a highway
Like a Creature from another time
It inspires the babies' questions
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
And it stands a giant power station
And It ticks each night as the city sleeps
Or maybe Seconds from anniahlation
But no one stopped to think about the people
Or how they would survive
Yes we almost lost Detroit, this time, Yeah, this time
And how would we ever get over
Over loosing our minds?
Almost lost Detroit, that time,see we are, Almost lost Detroit, that time
How would we ever get over
Over, somebody always can get over, over
I don't think i would never get over, over
I don't think i would never get over, over
See we are, people all over the world wana know
People all over the world wana know
Almost lost each other, that time, see we are
Almost lost each other, that time, see we are
Almost lost each other, that time
I don't think i would never get over, over
I don't think i would never get over, over
See we are, I'm loosing my mind
