We Built This City Lyrics
Both: We built this city
We built this city on sausage roll
Built this city
Mark: Come on babe!
Both: We built this city on sausage rolls
Roxanne: That’s not bad that
Mark: S’alright innit? My lyrics are epic ain’t they?
Roxanne: Stay in tune
Mark: If you’ve never had one,
And don’t recognise the taste
It’s a cylindrical bit of pork wrapped
In a puff pastry case
Beige, baked, and golden,
Holier than grace
Grab it whilst it’s pipin’ hot and
Both: Shove it in your face!
Both: Their party sized to foot long
Listen to your belly groan
Don’t you remember
We built this city
We built this city on sausage rolls
We built this city
We built this city on sausage roll
Built this city
We built this city on sausage rolls
Mark: Christenings or birthdays,
Or uncle Johnny’s wake
You’ll find me at the buffet
Both: Filling up my plate
Mark: A Ginsters on the M1
Roxanne: M1
Mark: Greggs on platform 3
Roxanne : Platform 3
Mark: I don’t care where I’m eating it
Both: Smash it with a cup of tea!
Both: Their party sized to foot long
Listen to your belly groan
Don’t you remember
We built this city
We built this city on sausage rolls
We built this city
We built this city on sausage roll
Built this city
We built this city on sausage rolls
Mark: I’ve done this for my missus
‘cause she loves Christmas songs (Christmas songs)
Oh what more could she wish for
(Yes Mate!)
Than a sausage roll singalong?
Roxanne: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Mark: It’s not just a meat snack
It’s a way of life!
Treating your friends and family
Roxanne: And even your hot wife
Order it on date night
Stay in an extra night
Both: Have it with a merlot
It’s time for the saus-age
Mark: Did you just call that a saus-age?
Roxanne: Yes, yes I did
Mark: Right, no, no it’s a sausage
Roxanne: Posh sausage
Both: Their party sized to foot long
Listen to your belly groan
Don’t you remember
We built this city
We built this city on sausage rolls
We built this city
We built this city on sausage roll
Built this city
We built this city on sausage rolls
Roxanne: Sausage roll, sausage roll city
Mark: Rox, they’re not the words
Roxanne: Sausage roll, sausage roll city
Mark: Right, that’s not my song
Roxanne: Sausage roll, sausage roll city
Mark: Stop Rox, right security, can we stop this please?
Roxanne: Sausage roll, sausage roll cit-aaayyy
Mark: Right, Rox, right no, sorry. Right headphones off! No I’m sorry, right let’s leave it there please! Headphones off. Come on, you’ve done here. Right, end it there, song’s over. Thank you, thanks, let’s go.
Roxanne: Hahaha
Meaning of We Built This City
“We Built This City” by LadBaby is a deliberately absurd and aggressively catchy commentary on consumerism, nostalgia, and the peculiar British obsession with convenience food. The core theme revolves around the relentless promotion of sausage rolls – specifically Ginsters and Greggs varieties – as a central pillar of urban life and celebratory indulgence. The song’s frantic repetition, delivered by Mark and Roxanne in a playfully grating duet, immediately establishes a sense of manic enthusiasm, almost bordering on unsettling. It's not simply about enjoying a pastry; it’s presented as an ingrained cultural ritual, popping up at everything from Christenings to wakes, fueled by the accessibility of motorway-side chains like Greggs and Ginsters. Mark’s increasingly insistent declarations – “It’s a way of life!” – coupled with Roxanne's hysterical laughter highlight the song’s satirical intent, mocking the prioritization of readily available treats over deeper experiences.
The artist’s message isn’t profound; it’s a deliberately silly provocation designed to generate buzz and engagement through its sheer ridiculousness. The inclusion of references like "merlot" adds another layer of incongruity, suggesting a decadent lifestyle built around simple pleasures. Ultimately, LadBaby utilizes this absurd scenario—a city literally constructed on sausage rolls—to critique the superficiality of modern culture and the ease with which we’re marketed towards instant gratification. The song's success lies in its ability to tap into a relatable fondness for comfort food while simultaneously exposing the absurdity of elevating it to such an outlandish level, creating a memorable and undeniably bizarre listening experience.
