We Built This City Lyrics

We built this city We built this city on rock and roll We 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 We 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 We 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, and 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 just simple fools Looking for America Calling through your schools
I'm looking out over that golden gate bridge Out on a 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 and roll
We built this city We built this city on rock and roll We built this city We built this city on rock and roll
