CHORUS

We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll

Built this city we built this city on rock an' 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



BRIDGE

Marconi plays the mamba listen to the radio

Don't you remember

We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll



REPEAT 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



REPEAT BRIDGE



REPEAT CHORUS



It's just another Sunday in a tired old street

Police have got the choke hold 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 'cos we're just simple fools

Looking for America crawling through your schools



(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge

Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday I've seen that bumper-to-bumper 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)



REPEAT BRIDGE



REPEAT CHORUS TWICE



(We built we built this city) built this city (we built we built this city)

REPEAT TO FADE
