Detroit Rock City Lyrics

- Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin
 
"... 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.  The
 youth 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 legislatives today are expected to rally to the aid of striking
 longshoremen in hopes of ending the 9 month deadlock ..."
 
 "..roll all night and party every day
 I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day"
 
 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 up 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
 
 Movin' fast, doin' 95
 Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow
 I feel so good, I'm so alive
 I hear my song playin' on the radio
 It goes
 
 Get up
 Everybody's gonna move their feet
 Get down
 Everybody's gonna leave their seat
 
 Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
 There's a truck ahead, lights starin' 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
