We Almost Lost Detroit (Live)

Ooh, that didn't go well Ah, recently they've re-released Some material that we did with an organization called The Musicians United For Safe Energy They were called MUSE, and the movie was called, No Nukes And we did a song on the album, No Nukes It was about an accident that took place about 30 miles west of Detroit And in that song that we recorded in 1977 We mentioned a lady named, Karen Silkwood Whose case would be decided some 67 years later We want you to understand that somebody always got to be on the job Somebody's always got to be on the job because there's always a job out there to do This is the song here we called, We Almost Lost Detroit 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 just how they would survive And we almost lost Detroit, this time And how would we ever get over Losing our minds? Just 30 miles from Detroit They built a giant power station And It ticks each night as the city sleeps Or maybe seconds from annihilation, yeah But no one stopped to think about the people Or just how they would survive Yes we've almost lost Detroit, this time, yeah, this time And how would we ever get over Over losing our minds? You see, almost lost Detroit, that time Saying we are, almost lost Detroit, that time Saying we are, now how would we ever get over Over, somebody always can I get over? Over I don't think I would ever get over, over I don't think I would ever get over, over See we are, people all over the world wanna know Say, didn't you know? People all over the world wanna know Say, didn't you know? Say Almost lost Detroit, that time, saying we are Almost lost Detroit, that time, saying we are Almost lost Detroit, that time I don't think I would ever get over, over I don't think I would ever get over, over Saying we are, I'm losing my mind Thank you very much Please welcome the other members of the band I thank you, you've been very patient
