lyrics
The Kids Will Save Detroit By Parallels
Kicking us out around dawn
the cops came to say our time was up
we just wanted to keep what was left
had our hands reaching out for that one silver bullet
I love the city
the river bleeds royal blood
all around, beautiful ruins brought to dust
let the beat go on
In god we trust
so don't lose faith in us
my mama always said
the kids will save Detroit
I had taken the longer way home
to hear the plaza hart's sweet sounds
it's a place I had felt I belonged
the rhythms soul heals a strangers heart
this city haunts me
the vacant lots once so strong
call it home, feel it breathing
if you listen close, you'll hear the beat go on
In god we trust
so don't lose faith in us
my mama always said
the kids will save Detroit
The city, it haunts me
Detroit city, her beat goes on and on and on
Detroit city, her beat goes on and on and on
In god we trust
so don't lose faith in us
my mama always said
the kids will save Detroit
Kicking us out around dawn
the cops came to say our time was up
we just wanted to keep what was left
had our hands reaching out for that one silver bullet
I love the city
the river bleeds royal blood
all around, beautiful ruins brought to dust
let the beat go on
In god we trust
so don't lose faith in us
my mama always said
the kids will save Detroit
I had taken the longer way home
to hear the plaza hart's sweet sounds
it's a place I had felt I belonged
the rhythms soul heals a strangers heart
this city haunts me
the vacant lots once so strong
call it home, feel it breathing
if you listen close, you'll hear the beat go on
In god we trust
so don't lose faith in us
my mama always said
the kids will save Detroit
The city, it haunts me
Detroit city, her beat goes on and on and on
Detroit city, her beat goes on and on and on
In god we trust
so don't lose faith in us
my mama always said
the kids will save Detroit

Memories and Comeback Kid were my first introduction to this band. From then on - I've always gone to the Midnight for easy listening. Waiting for a bus - Standing in line - Going grocery shopping and pretty much everywhere and anywhere. You can listen to this track over and over again and I feel like it doesn't get old.
