We Built This CityWe're Not Gonna Take It
Russell Brand & Catherine Zeta-Jones Lyrics

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

But we're not gonna take it (no)
No, we ain't gonna take it

We're not gonna take it anymore

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

We're not gonna take it (we built this city)
No, we ain't gonna take it (we built this city)
We're not gonna take it anymore (we built this city on rock and roll)

We're not gonna take it (we built this city)
No, we ain't gonna take it (we built this city)
We're not gonna take it anymore (we built this city on rock and roll)

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