We built this city  Starship

*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 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 (*)

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 chokehold
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
Coming through your schools

(spoken)
I'm looking out over the Golden Gate Bridge
On another gorgeous sunny Saturday
And I'm seeing 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 (**,*)
我們建造了這座城市  星船合唱團

我們建造了這座城市
我們在搖滾樂上建造了這座城市
建造了一座城市
我們在搖滾樂上建造了這座城市

說你不認識我,或說你不認得我
說你不在乎誰去了那種地方
深陷在喧鬧中
沉溺在戰鬥裡
太多逃家者耗盡了夜晚

馬可尼逗弄著毒曼巴蛇
仔細聽聽廣播
難道你不記得了?
我們建造了這座城市
我們在搖滾樂上建造了這座城市

有些人一直在玩團體遊戲
誰在乎他們一直在更改團體名稱
我們只想跳舞
有人搶盡了鋒頭
他們卻說是我們不負責任
把我們從頁面上刪除

那是另一個週日
在乏味老舊的街道上
警方壓制了局面
而我們失去了節奏

誰在吧台下數鈔票?
誰在我們的吉他上搞破壞?
別說你需要我們
因為我們就是一艘愚人船
尋找著美國
從你們的學校完成學業


在另一個陽光燦爛的週末
我查看金門大橋那邊
只看到保險桿緊貼保險桿的繁忙交通
難道你不記得了?
在你最愛的廣播城中最喜愛的廣播電台
海灣城市
搖滾城市
不夜之城
