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 'n' roll
We built this city
we built this city on rock 'n' roll
Built this city
We 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, 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 'n' roll
We built this city
We built this city on rock 'n' roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock 'n' roll
