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

We're Not Gonna Take It (No)
no, We Ain't Gonna Take It
oh We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in to our rock guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, crawling through your schools

We're Not Gonna Take It (No)
(We built this city)
no, We Ain't Gonna Take It
(We built this city)
oh We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore
(We built this city on rock and roll)
We're Not Gonna Take It
