We Built This City Lyrics
Artist(Band):Jefferson Starship
WE built this city,
We built this city on rock and roll x2
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,ohhhhh and 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, crawling through your schools
Don't you remember ...
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 yeah
We built this city
We built, we built this city
(Repeat x5 - fadeing out)

Review about We Built This City
Jibberish don't think soo | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/16/09
If you listen to the words they are singing about how rock and roll and radio made the city. How songs are made popular in schools by teens, and in dance clubs. The line Marconi plays the mamba is just saying the radio plays the mamba, Marconi was the inventor of the radio. SO maybe if people would listen and use the organ between their ears they could figure it out....
Not rubbish | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/16/09
The lyrics for this song are not rubbish or pointless, they are talking about the city of San Francisco. The radio clip in the middle of the song was and still is an actual radio station there, which still plays the same songs but is now an 'oldies' radio station. I agree it's a great song, one of my alltime favorites, but just because you don't see the meaning in the lyrics don't call them 'pointless'
they built the cities of rock and roll | Reviewer: Bea | 11/23/08
okej, I gotta say; this is not the best song I've ever heared. I think it's both funny and good at the same time. but it has a catchy chorus that you easily can learn and sing-a-long to, and yea.. I'm addicted to it xDD
Legendary | Reviewer: Steven | 7/18/08
This song.. is simply amazing.. anyone who thinks it sucks.. open your eyes people loved that song back in the 80's and still continue to love it in the 21st century. Its an immortal classic. Simply Amazing.

OMG this song is incredible! In my opinion "We built this city" is the best of the best song's 80's! When I listening it I feel power and I can do everything... I'm really sad when I think that in my country and in the world we must waiting long time when somebody write and singing song who take mi this feeling... If I make a mistake I'm sorry I learn English ;)

You cant spell crap without rap. We Built This City is a GREAT song. These days there are good bands but nothing like the 80's
This music is fantastic it's a legend | Reviewer: ge | 9/20/07
I love this song.It's a icon of the 80's.Lyrics are rubbish but music transcends everything.You have to feel it to like it and enjoy it.If music has this power to make you move(whatever the songs says)everything is valid.This song brought me back good memories.And I'm from Brazil.At that time it was realeased did not understand a word.Nevertheless always will be a joy to be remember...For those out there who think this song sucks I think they are speaking for themselves.Awesome song...

Go and fuck yourself somewhere else matt logan,whoever you are,and watch what you're wishing for, maybe there's someone fishing the same for you.This the dummiest comment I ever read, if you don't like the song than don't listen to it,and please do spare us of your petty thoughts.
WOOT! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/5/07
I'm not an old fart and I love 80s music. To all of the haters out here; if you don't like it thats your preference not everyone else's and if you think we are dumb then go suck an egg. Also: LYRICS DONT HAVE TO HAVE A MEANING!
not for everyone | Reviewer: john | 8/15/07
just a simple song but great instead,with an excellent rithm..one of the best 80's hits
