[00:00.00]	作词 : Jackson, Scott-Heron
[00:00.00]	It stands out on a highway
[00:32.83]	Like a creature from another time.
[00:39.68]	It inspires the babies' questions, "What's that?"
[00:46.96]	For their mothers as they ride.
[00:53.23]	But no one stopped to think about the babies or how they would survive
[01:03.86]	And we almost lostDetroit this time
[01:16.32]	How would we ever get over losing our minds?
[01:33.20]	Just thirty miles from Detroit
[01:38.45]	Stands a giant power station
[01:45.43]	It ticks each night as the city sleeps
[01:58.02]	But no one stopped to think about the people
[02:05.12]	Or how they would survive
[02:09.90]	And we almost lostDetroit this time
[02:22.15]	How would we ever get over over losing our minds?
[02:38.85]	The sherrif of Monroe county had
[02:44.10]	Sure enough disasters on his mind
[02:51.67]	And what would karen Silkwood say
[02:58.23]	If she was still alive?
[03:04.24]	That when it comes to people's safety
[03:07.95]	Money wins out every time
[03:14.92]	And we almost lost Detroit this time, this time
[03:27.12]	How would we ever get over over losing our minds?
[03:38.04]	You see, we almost lost Detroit that time
[03:46.50]	Almost lost Detroit that time
[03:52.96]	And how would we ever get over...
[03:58.15]	Cause odds are, we gonna lose somewhere, one time
[04:05.21]	Odds are we gonna lose somewhere sometime
[04:12.02]	And how would we ever get over losing our minds?
[04:18.48]	And how would we ever get over losing our minds?
[04:24.17]	Didn't they, didn't they decide?
[04:30.91]	Almost lost Detroit that time
[04:36.71]	Damn near totally destroyed, one time
[04:43.53]	Didn't all of the world know?
[04:46.85]	Say didn't you know?
[04:50.45]	Didn't all of the world know?
[04:53.87]	Say didn't you know?
[04:56.25]	We almost lost Detroit...
