Detroit Breakdown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let me ask you baby
Do you live here everyday of your life
In a burned out war zone
Just like Beirut or something
Man it hurts my eyes
Detroit Breakdown
Got my whole damn head on fire
Detroit Breakdown
What a surprise
Motown schmotown ain't nothin' left
No more Iggy or the MC5
Wayne's been doin' it in LA now
So you're just livin' a lie
CHORUS
Let me ask you baby
Do you live here everyday of your life?
I'm a town that makes a career
Out of waiting for hell night
