We Built This City

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, then we just lost the beat

Who counts the money, underneath the bar

Who rides the wrecking ball in two rock guitars

Don't tell us you need us, 'cos 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

(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)
