We Build the City Songtext
von Starship

We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Hoooo
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 mambo, 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 mambo, 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
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, oh
Then 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 ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools
Yeah
Don′t you remember? (remember)
Marconi plays the mambo, 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
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Hoooo
(We built, built this city) built this city (built this city)
(We built, built this city) built this city (built this city)
(We built, built this city) built this city (built this city)
(We built, built this city) built this city (built this city)
Built this city
