We Built This City - Starship

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

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember We built this city, we built this city on rock an' 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 uf 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 an' roll

CHORUS

It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street Well if you got the toco, 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 just simple 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 an' roll

CHORUS

CHORUS

(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)...
