Jefferson Starship The We Built This City Lyrics

We Built This City Lyrics

We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city 

We built this city on rock and 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 and roll



We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll



Someone 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



Marconi plays the mamba 

Listen to the radio

Don't you remember

We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll



We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll



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 

'Cause we're just simple fools

Looking for America 

Calling 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)



Marconi plays the mamba 

Listen to the radio

Don't you remember

We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll



We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll
