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      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 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 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 in two rock guitars   Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're the ship of fools   Looking for America coming through your schools      Don't you remember   ('Member, 'member)      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   Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll   Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll      (We built, we built this city)   Built this city   (We built, we built this city)   (We built, we built this city)   Built this city   (We built, we built this city)      (We built, we built this city)   Built this city   (We built, we built this city)   (We built, we built this city)   Built this city   (We built, we built this city)
