who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars?

For the people of Miami:

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

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
We 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 -- oh, and we just lost the beat

Yes, it's Starship. I have no shame. (Did you know it was first written for John Farnham??)

What is it with John Farnham and revolutionary tunes?

In this time, we know we often stand together
We give power to the powerful
Even we can make it better
Ooh, We’re all someone’s daughter, We’re all someone’s son Ooh, yet we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun You’re the voice try and understand it Make a noise and make it clear We’re not gonna sit in silence, We’re not gonna live with fear

I have pumped my fist to that song many a time, both under the influence and not. And BTW, how good is it to see the nation getting behind Farnsey again? Hooya.

I must confess I was extremely excited to hear the finalists of australian idol singing it with such meaning!
