| | 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.
 
 Ma Coley 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 an' roll.
 Built this city, we built this city on rock an' 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 out us off the page.
 
 Ma Coley 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 an' roll.
 Built this city, we built this city on rock an' 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?
 
 Who writes the wrecking ball
 in two wild guitars?
 
 Don't tell us you need us
 'cos we're just simple fools.
 
 Looking for America
 coming through your schools.
 
 Don't you remember?
 
 Ma Coley 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 an' roll.
 Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll.
 
 Built this city,
 we built this city on rock an' roll.
 Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll.
