Way Down Upon the Detroit River

Way down upon the Detroit River Bankers got more Made all of them a major bundle Foreclosing on the poor All around, bereft and weary Houses swindled, lost Robbery and stealing – legal? O what a human cost All up and down the whole creation Sadly they roam Wondering how it was the law allowed this? Grief for their long lost homes All the world sees what went wrong here Detroit’s a spectacle Fraud, robbery, misinformation O what a debacle Restore to every single victim Houses gone away Right here beside the Detroit River Let’s put things right today Let there once more be the old folks Back where they should be Change laws, protect and serve all people Bring justice home to me
