We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
I love you
I loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly
Agree politely
I guess that every breath I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing
So I fell for everything
You held me down but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down but I got up
Get rеady 'cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got thе eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Twenty twenty twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport, put me on a plane
Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane
I can’t control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh no
You'd see them wearing their baggies
(We just want to dance here)
Huarache sandals too
(Someone stole the stage)
A bushy bushy blond hairdo
(They call us irresponsible)
Surfin' U.S.A
(Write us off the page)
You'll catch 'em surfin' at
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
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
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Today is the greatest
(We built, we built this city, we built this city)
Day I’ve ever known
(We built this city, yeah)
Can’t wait for tomorrow
(We built, we built this city, we built this city)
I might not have that long
(We built this city on rock and roll)
I'll tear my heart out
I keep dreaming
(We built this city)
You’ll be with me
(We built this city on rock and roll)
And you'll never go
(We built this city)
Stop breathing
(We built this city on rock and roll)
If I don't see you anymore
(We built this city)
Pink ribbon scars
(We built this city on rock and roll)
That never forget
(We built this city)
I tried so hard
(We built this city on rock and roll)
To cleanse these regrets
(We built this city)
My angel wings
(We built this city on rock and roll)
Were bruised and restrained
(We built this city)
My belly stings
(We built this city on rock and roll)
We built this city
