We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible, write us off the page

Police have got the choke hold, oh----oh, oh, oh, but 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, 'cos we're [the ship of] fools
Looking for Bmerica, crawling through your schools
I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge, out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday,
I've seen that bumper-to-bumper traffic (CHORUS)
Here's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city the city by the bay,
the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps
Marconi plays the mamba.. . (CHORUS)
