## Lyrics
[verse]
Marquee lights on every corner, speakers on the roof
Kids with amplifiers spilling out the truth
They tried to shut the sound down, said it broke the rules
But the music kept on climbing over rooftops, over schools

[chorus]
We built this city on a beat and a dream
We built this city, louder than it seems
Brick by brick and song by song
We built this city, and the music plays on

[verse]
Radio waves crossing every empty street
Neon signs still burning where the bands used to meet
They can zone the clubs, they can silence the stage
But the sound already lives in every generation's blood

[chorus]
We built this city on a beat and a dream
We built this city, louder than it seems
Brick by brick and song by song
We built this city, and the music plays on

[bridge]
Turn it up, don't let it fade
This is the noise that the city made
Every corner has a song to tell
We built it up, and we built it well

[chorus]
We built this city on a beat and a dream
We built this city, louder than it seems
Brick by brick and song by song
We built this city, and the music plays on
