"Detroit Rock City" lyrics

"Detroit Rock City"

...Congressional reports
President Ford says that he's disappointed with Congress's performance
In Detroit, a Pontiac, Michigan youth was reported dead at the scene of a head-on collision on Grand Avenue this morning
He was reportedly driving on the wrong side of the boulevard when he struck a delivery truck and was catapulted through the windshield of his car
The driver of the truck is reported to be uninjured
The identities of both men are being withheld by local police
County legislatures today are expected to rally to the aid of striking longshoremen in hopes of ending the nine month deadlock

"..Roll all night and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all night
And party everyday..."

I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car and I try to make the midnight show

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Moving fast, down 95
['Resurrected' version: "Moving fast, doing 95"]
Hit top speed but I'm still moving much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
Hear my song playing on the radio, it goes

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

['Resurrected' version's additional line:]
You gotta lose your life in Detroit, Rock City

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes
Oh my God!
No time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why?

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet

Get up!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Get up!
