Flint City Shake It |
| Detroit rock baby, that’s a fact |
| Anybody say different, 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 meat, 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 |
| Been 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 |
| Well there ain’t no work and everybody’s hurtin' |
| It’s been that way for a while |
| They ain’t got us licked just yet |
| 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 the kind 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 |
| Detroit rock but Flint City roll |
