We Built This City
Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city
on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city
on rock an' roll
Say you don't know me, or recognize
my face
Say you don't care who goes to that
kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in
your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to
the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city
on rock an' roll
chorus
Someone's always playing corporation
games
Who cares they're always changing corporation
names
We just want to dance here, someone
stole the stage
They call us irresponsible, write us
off the page
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to
the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city
on rock an' roll
chorus
It's just another Sunday, in a tired
old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh,
and we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the
bar
Who rides the wrecking ball into our
guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're
just simple fools
Looking for America, crawling through
your schools
(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate
bridge
Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday, I've
seen that low amount of traffic)
Don't you remember (remember)
(Here's your favorite radio station,
in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that
rocks, the city that never sleeps)
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to
the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city
on rock an' roll
chorus repeats 2x
(We built, we built this city) built
this city (we built, we built this city)
(repeats out)
