| 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
|
| Ma coley plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don’t you remember
|
| we built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
|
| 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
|
| Ma coley plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don’t you remember
|
| we built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
|
| 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, 'cause 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)
|
| Ma coley plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don’t you remember
|
| we built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
|
| repeats 2x
|
| (we built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
