WE built this city, We built this city on rock and roll x2
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 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,ohhhhh 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, crawling 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 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
