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
