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


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


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


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


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)


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


chorus repeats 2x


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