We Built This City

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

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 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 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, 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?

...member, member...

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! Oh!

We built, we built this city on...

We built, we built this city...

We built, we built this city on...

We built, we built this city...

We built, we built this city on...

We built, we built this city...

We built, we built this city on...

We built, we built this city...
