A nihilist tradition where victims of capitalism and racism burned down hundreds of houses in Detroit’s inner city every Halloween eve over multiple decades.

Welcome to Devil’s Night, Detroit is burning bright ⋅ devil’s night, devil’s night, it’s devil’s night again ⋅ cruising in the Falcon in Detroit USA ⋅ October nineteen seventy five ⋅ people call it devil’s night and they go out to play ⋅ roll down the window and I’ll take you for a drive ⋅ over there the Joneses couldn’t pay the rent ⋅ lost their jobs at Ford and Chevrolet ⋅ the house is burnt to ashes, don’t know where they went ⋅ they put some gas and lit a match and walked the other way ⋅ both of Mister Miller’s boys died in Viet Nam ⋅ Nixon never shed a tear for them ⋅ he put so much gasoline it sounded like a bomb ⋅ lit another cigarette and watched the firemen ⋅ welcome to devil’s night, Detroit is burning bright ⋅ see you back here next year when we’ll do it all again
