We Built This City
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:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wreaking ball into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're just simple fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools
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:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street
police have got the chokehold, and we just lost the beat!
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:
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 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:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wreaking ball into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're just simple fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools
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:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street
police have got the chokehold, and we just lost the beat!
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:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
