Ninja Sex Party - 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 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'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 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
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

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

We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city now
Built, built
Built this city
Built, built
We built this city now
Built, built
Built this city
Built, built
We built this city now
Built, built
Built this city
Built, built
We built this city now
Built, built

    How GQ could vote this as the worst song of all time when shit like 'Barbie Girl', 'the Cheeky Song' and 'The Mr Blobby Song' (which by the way, got to no.1 in the UK in 1993 no less) exist, proves that the general public have a truly awful taste in music.

  41. S.... H....

    This version is legitimately better (like, infinitely so) than Starship's original, undercooked blah fest. Kudos, NSP!

  42. C.... T....

    Danny looks like a young Michael Bolton.

  43. Y.... c....

    Can I get this song on spoofy

  44. K.... T....

    The answer is Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus rides the wrecking ball into your guitars.

  45. �.... B....

    Dan is to sexy its not alloweeeddd

  46. e.... ....

    One question: Why? Oh yeah, Danny.

  47. C.... G....

    Love you guys so much and your entire 80s everything. YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING GREAT. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST💙💜💙

  48. C.... t....

    i bet in real life danny is a badass and brian is a pacifist yo dude kinda of guy and they are both super nerds

  49. N.... g....

    i watched the music video to this for the first time now and...they shot it in The Weird Place setting. I cry this is the "crossover" i needed.

  50. w.... b....

    this was shot at meow wolf in santa fe new mexico

  51. J.... C....

    I can't be the only person who thinks this is one of the most consistently amazing covers ever.

  52. D.... R....

    Dan looks like a young Dio. Let’s hear Rainbow in the Dark!

  53. R.... ....

    Depression: *exists*
    Dan: *Hold my radio.*

  54. A.... A....

    I would pay an excessively large amount of money for a blue blazer with the NSP pin symbol on the back like dannys wearing in this. Just saying. Merch Idea.

  55. S.... ....

    "Someone's always playing, corporation games
    We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage"
    I know I shouldn't but I legit think he's talking about Arin
    He wants to break free

  56. S.... 1....

    We built this society on what you deserve!

  57. E.... c....

    Ngl I was never a huge fan of the original song because I felt it lacked a lot in energy but this sounds how its supposed to be played
    This is amazing

  58. D.... ....

    Dan, please sing "Kyrie" by Mr. Mister! <3 :'( Please?

  59. V.... ....

    I PET THIS KITTY

  60. D.... f....

    If you change it from “we built this city on rock and roll” to “the two big titties of rock and roll.” The song gets 100% better.

  61. J.... T....

    I like the idea of when Danny is inactive, Ninja Brian resides near him at all times.

  62. T.... g....

    I swear to god eyeliner dan looks like Noel Fielding and I can't get it out of my head

  63. D.... W....

    Where was this filmed? Is it the same place the filmed the video for Africa?

    D.... W....

    1. It was filmed in Meow Wolf
    2. Yes

  64. D.... ....

    Keep the dream alive dan

  65. J.... R....

    I like that I get an ad for window replacements when watching this

  66. T.... T....

    I hope you guys know how awesome this is.

  67. O.... ....

    i played the original and this version at the same time

  68. T.... E....

    I can’t believe I haven’t come across a comment that doesn’t say: you can build my city any day Dan

  69. B.... B....

    Nobody:
    The Founding Fathers Writing the constitution:
    0:00

  70. I.... h....

    3:27 the new joker looks great

  71. S.... B....

    Dan how did you enjoy New Mexico?

  72. t.... ....

    Starship's version was garbage compared to this
    Edit:Because This One Is Sang By Someone Who Can Sing

  73. g.... c....

    My ears are in bliss

  74. B.... B....

    How does this song sound more 80s than the original?

  75. S.... S....

    This is better than the Starship version. Keep up the gr8 work guys.

  76. T.... A....

    Dan looks like the new joker at the end just saying

  77. f.... ....

    I would pay money to see them film their next video while I watched.

  78. T.... ....

    I don't know where this video was shot at but, good lord, I want to go there.

  79. D.... S....

    We need a cover of Caribbean queen

  80. L.... ....

    Danny has the midas touch for music

  81. A.... G....

    I'll cosign his crazy. All day. Fan girl out

  82. A.... ....

    I love you guys

  83. B.... L....

    this is and was my favorite song as a kid in the 1980's. i think this artist that is doing this song is just doing a cover ...

    B.... L....

    ...It appears to you that this artist is doing a cover, because this is, in fact, a cover.

    B.... L....

    If you do a cover, make sure you do a good job at it too....

    B.... L....

    @Bryan Louis Oh, I misunderstood and thought you actually didn't understand the concept of what a cover was-


    Well I guess that's your opinion then.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  84. D.... ....

    3:26 Am I the only one that think Dan Look like the Joker are this part?

  85. N.... ....

    We built this channel


    We built this channel on ninjas and potty jokes

  86. m.... w....

    This video is better than the original one

  87. N.... B....

    Umm no you didn't bitch.

  88. D.... ....

    We built this city on Synthpop and Autotune

  89. r.... u....

    I like the song but every time I listen this song with my brother who is younger than me I got to cover your name Nina sex party he is 5 years old

  90. J.... K....

    I just now found out they had cds for this..

  91. S.... ....

    Starbomb poster in the last shot :3

  92. i.... ....

    dear fucking god right now i just had to go and listen to the original just to get this ear rape out of my head what are they gonna butcher next africa by toto or perhaps land down under by men at work?

    i.... ....

    I mean, most of NSP's covers are really good. This one isn't great, but that's partially because the original isn't very good either.

    i.... ....

    @The Space Of Ades it's better than this piece of shit

  93. B.... B....

    Are we just gonna ignore the bass player destroying his bass for example 1:57

  94. R.... R....

    We built this city on sexbang gold

  95. x.... M....

    Please, PLEASE, make 500 more albums of under the cover, it's ironic how these guys made originals even better.

  96. A.... ....

    Lazer Sparkle Suit should be a song by you guys......

  97. l.... ....

    Less than 2 seconds into the song and you get a like from me love this song very well done sir

  98. M.... ....

    Wow, I think I can safely say that Danny Sexbang is musical GOD

  99. V.... P....

    i really do not think it should be allowed for me to be this gay

  100. S.... ....

    All we need now is a NSP-Def Leppard collab and all will be right with the world.

    S.... ....

    Nice to see another def leppard fan

    S.... ....

    @theSLAYERFREAK I'm actually not a fan but I know Dan is and I imagine he would love to collab with them.
