Glee Cast - We Built This City Lyrics






We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and 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 mambo, 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's 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 mambo, 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 (Oh oh)
In a tired old street (Oh oh)
Police have got the choke hold, oh
Then we just lost the beat

Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio
Don't you remember?

We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
We built this city (Oh oh oh oh)
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city (Oh oh oh oh)
We built this city on rock
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Whoa oh
We built this city

    S.... L....

    Cory Monteith died between seasons 4 and 5. Glee had 6 seasons, although 6 was shorter. Cory died of a drug overdose.

  16. j.... t....

    I wanted other season of glee!!!

  17. t.... 1....

    I love this song 💜 it makes me want to cry and dance around my room singing

  18. K.... ....

    Not bad. Certainly no worse than the original. The vocal drums "ba-ba-ba-ba" business is a bit off-putting, but the rest of the song seems better done than the original, so it all balances out. It's not exactly an easy song to do well, given that it's pretty sloppily written. Given the source material, Glee did this song about as well as it's possible to do it.

    K.... ....

    I love to sing this song for karaoke. It is a cheesy song, but most music from the 1980s is corny and overproduced. I was born in the 80s and I can remember a lot of music from my early childhood and I don't understand what so many people like about it.

  19. M.... ....

    I could listen to this over and over. Glad they cut out that random third verse and the talking part.

    M.... ....

    Maserati777 what talking part?

    M.... ....

    There is a talking part. I think it is a radio announcer. Towards the end.

    M.... ....

    The City's Rock n Roll

  20. T.... N....

    WE BEAT MAN CITY

  21. m.... w....

    Ok, Glee, we know it's a glee club performing it, but did you need the a cappella

  22. I.... I....

    who else is here because of the cows

  23. S.... ....

    This song is so good and cool 👍🏻😎💕

  24. B.... C....

    yeah, it was marvellously epic and quite good and all that, but where the "bum bum bum bum" parts REALLY necessary? talk about pulling the guts and glory out at the EXACT wrong time!

  25. I.... ....

    God awful. Could only make it to 1:13. Did I miss anything? I'd like to see what they did with the traffic report clip but I can't sit through another minute and a half of this to find out. The original song (like a lot of 80s music) is cheesy and over-produced, but also catchy and unique. Something you wouldn't want to listen to every day but maybe you'd enjoy hearing on the radio every couple of months or whatever. This is just a bad cover. Back to the drawing board with this one, Glee.

    I.... ....

    Deals off

    I.... ....

    ISpitHotFiyaa Calm down Beyonce

    I.... ....

    ISpitHotFiyaa YES someone who understands shit music and i fucking hate glee if anyone here is a glee fan FUCK YOU TO THE MOON GLEE MAKES SHIT MUSIC!!!

    I.... ....

    why tf did you click on this then

  26. H.... C....

    every time I hear this song I want to cry.... this was my freshman year marching band show opener... every time I hear it, I get flashbacks to band camp and throughout the season and remember the fun I had with my seniors...😭😭😭 I love this song because it brings good memories, but I miss those memories so much ....

    H.... C....

    Hannah Clarice of

    H.... C....

    Hannah Clarice sorry but no one cares 😏😏🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

    H.... C....

    Robyn Murphy-Erickson Well, fuck you too.

    H.... C....

    Yay band nerds unite

    H.... C....

    Hannah Clarice I hope your life is full of many more wonderful memories for years to come, and that they will always bring you Joy, comfort, and laughter!

  27. I.... ....

    I accidentally clicked on this looking for Starship's hit from 1985. I shall now listen with my usual amount of trepidation.
    ...
    And it took 23 seconds for this song to ruin itself. Nothing kills the mood like listening to a cappella people sing "Buuuhm buh-bum" in place of actual instruments.

    SAVE ME, MICKEY THOMAS! SAVE ME, GRACE SLICK! I REQUIRE A SYNTHESIZED EXORCISM!

    I.... ....

    Ikrani, you sound like just a generally negative person, and I would appreciate it if you would cease to inflict your pessimistic opinions upon this comment section. Thank you.

    I.... ....

    Hey, I watched the video, I gave it an honest chance, I didn't like it, and I will express my discontent with as much misplaced self-entitlement as I want.

    Besides which, most rock critics think the studio version is bad. Can't even fathom how many brain aneurysms THIS would cause.
    ...
    I must now spread this to every corner of the internet. I'LL SHOW YOU THE LIFE OF THE MIND!

    I.... ....

    Ikrani good for you.

    I.... ....

    Ikrani isn’t that what the show is supposed to do? Honestly if it was a YouTube cover and did that I could understand

  28. M.... S....

    this is da bomb song

  29. t.... ....

    Fuck you GLEE You fucked it bad.

    t.... ....

    @Alex show me where I asked

    t.... ....

    The heat up

    t.... ....

    @mira howell Show me where I replied to you that isn't this comment.

    t.... ....

    @Alex chill
