We built this city on rock and roll

Built this city

We built this city on rock and roll

Say you dont 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

Ooooh oooh ooh oh oh

Then we just lost the beat

Who counts the money

Underneath the bar

Who rides the wrecking ball

In to our 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 for that Golden Gate bridge

Out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday

not seein' that bumper to bumper traffic)

Don't you remember ('member) ('member)

(It'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)
