1.We built this city

Written:B.Taupin/M.Page/D.Lambert/P.Wolf

We built this city
We built this city on rock'n roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock'n 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 run aways
Eating up the night

Marconi plays that mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
We built this city on rock'n 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

It's just another Sunday
In a tired old street
Police have got the toehold
And we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wreeking 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

I'm looking out over the Golden Gate
Bridge on another gorgeous sunny Saturday
And I'm seein' that bumper to bumper traffic
Don't you remember
It's your favorite radio station in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay
The city that rocks
The city that never sleeps
