Lyrics

Detroit rock, baby that's a fact And when Bobby said, deffo better get back Jack Well, you've gotta be tough but there's a good time to be had I'd like to think everybody here knows that So let's talk about a place that you might not know Just a little further on up the road Well, you know about mhm, baby let's get down to the bones Tell you 'bout a place that really made America roll Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it) Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it) Let 'em all know (let 'em all know) Let 'em all know (let 'em all know) Detroit rock but Flint City roll Now the truth is, we ain't what we used to be Whole lotta trouble come to our streets The only one to blame is GMC If you don't know, baby, let me tell you how I mean We built Buick cars, GM trucks Chevy engines, AC sparkplugs Built planes for the war back in '41 Every piece straight from the ground on up Then trouble come in '86 With this son of a bitch named Roger Smith Cut our throat with a stroke of a fountain pen We're knocked down but we're gonna get up again Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it) Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it) Let 'em all know (let 'em all know) Let 'em all know (let 'em all know) Detroit rock but Flint City roll (roll) Well, there ain't no work and everybody's hurtin' It's been that way for a while They ain't got a sleepgrass yet there Flint City knows how to have a good time Well, we might be poor and we might be rough We're just good people down on our luck And you know it seems nobody cares about us We just ain't accountin' to give up Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it) Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it) Let 'em all know (let 'em all know) Let 'em all know (let 'em all know) Detroit rock but Flint City roll (roll) Detroit rock but Flint City roll
