We built this city on rock and 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 hoop blood sinking in your fire

Too many runaways

Eating up the night

Barcody plays the mamba

Listen to the radio

Don't you remember

We built this city

We built this city on rock and roll

Someone's always playing

Corporation games who cares

They're always changing corporation means

We just wanna dance here

Someone stole the stage

They call us irresponsible

Write us off the page

Mercury plays the mama

Listen to the radio

Don't you remember

We built this city

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city

We built this city on rock and roll

Built this city

We built this city on rock and roll

Built this city

We built this city on rock and roll

Build this city

We live this city on rock and roll
