What's Going On or Inner City Blues? Did Marvin Gaye know where of he spoke?

The Temptations... "Ball of Confusion"

The lyrics explain why Detroit is so messed up today... a song from 1970.

My suggestion for the Official Detroit City Council theme song; should be played at the beginning of every meeting.

We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, The Animals:

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due

Watch my daddy in bed and tired
Watch his hair been turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away

We gotta get out of this place
If its the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life
For me and you
