There have been worse songs, but I guess they mean the worst hit songs. I never cared much for "We Built this City...., but it is lyrically deep compared to such classics as "Kung Fu Fighting".

We Built This City
Starship
Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' 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 mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' 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 mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street
police have got the chokehold, and we just lost the beat!

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wreaking ball into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're just simple 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 seeing 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 mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

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

On the topic of Kung fu Fighting, if lousy corny movies get any attention, "Billy Jack" has got to win the crap celluloid award. Other than the discussion of him bein able to whoop his foot into the side of some jerks face, and nobody could stop him, being kinda cool, that movie launched an entire industry of films where someone else does your fighting for you. It pussified an entire generation of people who would wait for someone else to rescue them from victimhood.

And don't get me started on "Kung Fu" the television series.......A heroin addicted Chinese/American with a passion for masochism who's climbed to the status of a bum in pajamas in need of a haircut.
