Jefferson Starship - It's Not Over ('Til It's Over)

 
Listen
We don't call the shots here
We don't make the rules
We take what we get
Get what we can

That's learning the hard way
Here on the streets
You can't build a dream
Without a plan

(Passion speaks)
Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps)
They play to win
We play for keeps

It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right

The odds are against us
They say we don't stand a chance
Well, there's no givin' up
No givin' in

When push comes to shove
You got to fight
For what you love
You do what you must
Do what you can

(Passion speaks)
Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps)
They play to win
We play for keeps

It's not over 'til it's over
(It's not over)
It's not over 'til we get it right

It's not over 'til it's over
(Don't go givin' in)
It's not over 'til we get it right
Get it

The odds are against us
To know we still stand a chance
There's no givin' up
No givin' in

It's not over
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right

It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right

Starship - We Built This City

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

Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mambo, 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
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

Marconi plays the mambo, 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
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
Then 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 'cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge on another gorgeous sunny Saturday and I'm seein' that bumper to bumper traffic.)

Don't you remember? (remember)

(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 mambo, 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
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city (oh)
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
