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 mambo, 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, write us off the page

Marconi plays the mambo, 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

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge on another gorgeous sunny Saturday and I'm seein' that bumper to bumper 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 mambo, 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 (oh)

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) built this city (we built, we built this city)

(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)

(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)

(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
