Ted and Segre were burnin' with fever
Louder, faster
Dance the mean streets, Detroit City
Playing loud and fast
Dance the mean street, Detroit City
And the streets still smokin' today
You feel your heart beat, you hit the concrete
With all my long hair Detroit City
Skies glowin' red and gray
There's a riot raging downtown, tryin' to burn the place down
With all my long hair, Detroit City
Ten mile, eleven mile, Detroit City
Shock rock choppin' block, songs to make your heart stop
Well, I was born there, probably die there
Playing like today will be your last
You feel your heart beat, you hit the concrete
Playing loud and fast
And the posse wasn't even alive
Shove it in ta overdrive
With all my long hair, Detroit City
You feel your heart beat, you hit the concrete
And let the Silver bullets fly
Well, I was born there, probably die there
Well, I was born there, probably die there
Six mile, seven mile, eight mile, nine mile
Dance the mean streets, Detroit City
The kid was in his crib, shady wore a bib
Well, I was born there gonna die there
Make that guitar blast
Make that guitar blast
You feel your heart beat, you hit the concrete
But the Riff kept a rocking' the Creem kept a talkin'
With all my long hair, Detroit City
Louder Detroit City
Playing like today will be your last
