We built this city We built this city on rock and roll [Chorus] We built this city We built this city on rock and roll Built this city We built this city on rock and roll [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Marconi plays the mamba Listen to the radio, don't you remember? We built this city We built this city on rock and roll [Chorus] We built this city We built this city on rock and roll Built this city We built this city on rock and roll [Bridge] It's just another Sunday In a tired old street Police have got the chokehold, oh Then we just lost the beat [Verse 3] 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 [Interlude] I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge On another gorgeous sunny Saturday And I'm seeing 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 [Pre-Chorus] Marconi plays the mamba Listen to the radio, don't you remember? We built this city We built this city on rock and roll [Chorus] We built this city We built this city on rock and roll Built this city We built this city on rock and roll [Chorus] Built this city (ooh-hoo) We built this city on rock and roll Built this city We built this city on rock and roll [Outro] We built, we built this city, yeah (Built this city) We built, we built this city We built, we built this city, yeah (Built this city) We built, we built this city We built, we built this city, yeah (Built this city) We built, we built this city We built, we built this city, yeah (Built this city) We built, we built this city We built, we built this city, yeah
