We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
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 heating 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
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
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 (o-o-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 the simple fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools

***Looking out over that Golden Gate Bridge on another gorgeous, sunny
Saturday, not seeing that bumper-to-bumper traffic***Don't you remember,
remember, ooh?***Your favorite radio station, 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
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city (woo hoo hoo)
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

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