Alice Cooper - Detroit City 2020 Lyrics
Me and Iggy were giggin' with Ziggy and kickin' with the MC5
Ted and Seger were burnin' with the fever, and Suzi Q was sharp as a knife
The kid was in his crib, and Shady wore a bib, and the Posse wasn't even alive
Shock rock, choppin' block, songs to make your heart stop, shove it into overdrive
Make that guitar blast
Play it like today will be your last
Bleak town, sleak town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city
There was a riot ragin' downtown, try-in' to burn the place down, the skies were glowin' red and gray
But the grass keeps growin' and the money keeps flowin', and the streets are still smokin' today
Play it loud and fast
Cause the blues are in the past
Play it like today might be your last
Bleak town, sleak town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city
Bleak town, sleak town, freak town
Detroit city
Downtown, Motown, my town
Detroit city
Shake it down
Break it down
All around
Hallowed ground
Lost and found
Homeward bound
The Detroit sound
Is coming 'round
Lion town
Roarin' down
Tiger town
On the mound
Hockey town
Shoot the puck
Take 'em down
Don't give a WHAT?

Whoop!!!!Whoop!!! Mr.Cooper!!!!!Much LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!
this song is snooze town.
This is mad nice!
Wow this is a new low! I thought only Kid rock could be this kind of lame.
David Bowie IS...everywhere!
I love your cover of Suzi Quatro’s Your mama won’t like me....Thanks Alice
Alice Cooper has rocked me for many years, this shit rips!
Suks. Again. Really a bummer from the guy who made the best music of anyone in the 2000 to 2010 decade
Don't really like this remake.
Typical COOPER ,awsome Rocker.
Very fuck 👅👅🤘🤘
Loving it! Ready for more!
Utterly pointless!
they were all fighting for the same jobs in michigan ..i wish i was there in that time of history .i was in kindergarten in 1974 :)
Grande alice
That is a LAME version of East Side Story. Why are Cooper's vocals so polite??!
COOPER was for a lot of times spwcial suppot band to ONLY ONE big band MAIDEEEEN! wheres he now fukcer? without MAIDENs help hei nothing!!! wanjker
its whole of shit… novbody knows motley what? JUST AN AMERIAN COMMERICIAL SHIT…
butb wheres MAIDEN? the biggestbband ever???
I didnt likethis new chorus...
Nor do I.
the old guy at the party needs to go home.celluite face and ass. time has gone.
Fantasic as always Alice 👍👍👍👍
This version is certainly superior. The rest of you are just speaking from nostalgia. Better is better and this is it. With that said , the original still rocks hard.
Nope. I just compared them. The original is raw and in your face. This is way too polished, with no punch in the guitars. Make that guitar blast..
Love seeing Nita's Jiva at 0:46! Oh, and love the EP! Keep them coming!
The whole EP I'd phenomenal!
I like both versions. Alice is a God
This song remind me a lot of Steel Panther "If I Was The King" 👍😊
“Suzi Q was sharp as a knife”. Love it Mr Cooper!. (By the way, Suzi is still sharp as a knife. )
My Town too, although I haven't been back in 25 years since I left!
I don't blame you for leaving. The city only deserve shaming now.
I'm guessing most of the "original was better" crowd didn't listen all the way through. The song starts off like a straight copy of the original, first minute offers nothing new...then the MUCH improved chorus kicks in, plus lots of cool new lyrics in the second half. The guitar leads are better too. Alice has clearly put a lot of thought into reworking this - and yes, as good as the original is, this is the better version. Excellent!
Nah the original’s chorus is better. More anthemic
The production is sterile and flat. There's no punch in the guitars whatsoever. Make that guitar blast..
Alice himself sounds good as always though.
I was part of that crowd too until I listened all the way through— Alice’s wit really shines through in the end
Super Power
so fucking perfect
im with most like the original better
So sorry alice copper
But hire back the billion dollars babys back this song is very cheesy
This version is playing with my mind. I keep waiting for the chorus. Also, I want to sing along but the lyrics are not the same. Damn.
I miss old chorus too

Original is better.....

Nice raw and edgy remake...I still prefer the original version on The Eyes Of Alice Cooper but still a good down to earth rock song!!!
Shawn Fairholm I like the fact it mentions Kid Rock, Slim Shady and The ICP. I don't care for ICP but alot of people do. Its awesome and Hard Rockin
@Cynthia Linski get Eyes Of Alice Cooper album...the original song he did...I like a bit better but this is still a great rockin tune!!!
"Raw"? I don't think you know what that word means.. It sounds flat. Where's the punch in the guitars?The production is sterile and flat. Alice himself sounds good as always though.
Make that guitar blast..
Nope. Eyes of Alice Cooper version sounds better.
Agreed. This sounds flat.
Make that guitar blast..
Stigma well said!!!
@Jason Hardy Thanx, mate.
Alice rocks !
Cooper forever yeeeeaah !!!!
😎 pretty cool 😎 the rythm is just perfect ... i shake my ass 😀
