We Built This City Lyrics - Jefferson Starship

We built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll, built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll, oh 

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 

We got 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, built this city 

We built this city on rock and 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 

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember? 

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' 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 

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 

Well, if you got the toco, oh, then we just lost the beat 

Who counts the money underneath the bar? 

And 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 

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember? 

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' 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 

We built this city on rock and roll, built this city 

We built this city on rock and roll, oh
