We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
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 hoopla
Sinking in your fight
Too many runaways
And 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 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
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
They 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 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
It's just another Sunday in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh
Then 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 'cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools
Don't you remember? (Remember)
Marconi plays the mamba
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
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
We built, we built this city, yeah (Built this city)
We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city yeah (Built this city)
We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city yeah (Built this city)
We built, we built this city (Built this city)
