Lyrics:

We built this citywe built this city on rock 'n' roll -Built this citywe built this city on rock 'n' roll.Say you don't know mewellrecognize my face.Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place.Knee deep in the hoop-lasinking in your fight.Too many runaways eating up the night.Marconi plays the mambalisten to the radio.Don't you remember?We built this citywe built this city on rock 'n' roll.We built this citywe built this city on rock 'n' roll -Built this citywe built this city on rock 'n' roll.Someone's always playing corporation games.Who cares they're always changing corporation names.We just want to dance here but someone stole the stage.They call us irresponsiblewrite us off the page.Marconi plays the mambalisten to the radio. . . .It's just another Sunday in a tired old street.The police have the choke holdand 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 the ship of foolsLooking for Americacrawling through your schools.Don't you remember?Marconi plays the mambalisten to the radio. . . .Built this citywe built this city on rock 'n' roll -Built this citywe built this city on rock 'n' roll.
