Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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 (I’m looking out over that golden gate bridge Out on another gorgeous sunny saturday, not seein’ that bumper to bumper traffic) Don’t you remember (’member)(’member) (what’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 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) (repeats out)
