lyrics

I thought I had it right
by trying to share the image of Lingo-Three,
but soon I found out
that ideas can be worse than a disease…any disease…

Detroit! Only Detroit could turn a thing of wonder into a world-ending machine.
Detroit! Only Detroit could be so single-minded, create the fate that killed Lingo-Three.
Detroit! The Big Three was a cruel mother.

Within a century of coming here,
everything was sick or dead.
And the empty shells of the automobile
marked the place where thinking died.

I thought he had it right
by keeping such a memory alive.
But I knew he had had doubts,
I saw it in his face when we arrived; we wouldn’t survive…

Detroit! Only Detroit could turn a thing of wonder into a world-ending disease.
Detroit! Only Detroit could be so single-minded to create the fate that killed Lingo-Three.
Detroit! The Big Three was a cruel mother.

Within a century of coming here,
everyone was left for dead.
And a union bar marks the place
where Kago died and the hope had run out.

Only Detroit could turn a thing of wonder into a world-ending disease.
Detroit! Only Detroit could be so single-minded to create the fate that killed Lingo-Three.
Detroit!
