We Built This City
1985
------------------


Chorus:
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 heating 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

Chorus

Someone's 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

Chorus

It's just another Sunday
In a tired old street
Well if they've got the choke hold 
Oh, then we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who writes the wrecking ball in two wild 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 a gorgeous sunny Saturday, 
I've seen that low amount of 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 'n' roll

Chorus repeats 2x
