We Built This City lyrics
[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, [but] we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in two watt guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're [the ship of] fools
Looking for America, crawling through your schools
(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
Out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday, I've seen 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 mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
[chorus 2x]
(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
(repeats out)
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, [but] we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in two watt guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're [the ship of] fools
Looking for America, crawling through your schools
(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
Out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday, I've seen 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 mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
[chorus 2x]
(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
(repeats out)
