We built this city We built this city on rock'n'roll Built this city We built this city on rock'n'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'n'roll
We built this city We built this city on rock'n'roll Built this city We built this city on rock'n'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'n'roll
We built this city We built this city on rock'n'roll Built this city We built this city on rock'n'roll
It's just another Sunday In a tired old street Police have got the toehold 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 the ship of fools Looking for America Coming through your schools
Don't you remember
Marconi plays the mamba Listen to the radio Don't you remember We built this city We built this city on rock'n'roll
We built this city We built this city on rock'n'roll We built city We built this city on rock'n'roll
We built this city We built this city on rock'n'roll Built this city We built this city on rock'n'roll
We built, we built this city we built, we built this city
We built, we built this city We built, we built this city We built, we built this city…
