We Built This City

Jefferson Starship

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





BRIDGE


Marconi plays the mamba listen to the radio


Don't you remember


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





REPEAT 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 us off the page





REPEAT BRIDGE





REPEAT CHORUS





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 'cos we're just simple fools


Looking for America crawling 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)





REPEAT BRIDGE





REPEAT CHORUS TWICE





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


REPEAT TO FADE
