G. A. MacCormack - Panic in Detroit lyrics

{Intro} [Verse 1] He looked a lot like Che Guevara Drove a diesel van Kept his gun in quiet seclusion Such a humble man The only survivor of the National People's Gang [Chorus] Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone Panic in Detroit [Verse 2] He laughed at accidental sirens that broke the evening Gloom The police had warned of repercussions They followed none too soon A trickle of strangers were all that were left alive [Chorus] Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone Panic in Detroit [Verse 3] Putting on some clothes I made my way to school And I found my teacher Crouching in his overalls I screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights {Bridge} Having scored a trillion dollars Made a run back home Found him slumped across the table A gun and me alone I ran to the window. Looked for a plane or two Panic in Detroit He'd left me an autograph "Let me collect dust." I wish someone would phone Panic in Detroit Panic in Detroit {Outro}
