We're gonna start with city council
Aim for a mayoral seat
Slowly make our way to the county
'Til we got a cool majority
I've been spendin' my time designin' signs
Wearin' ties in high-profile galleries
We gonna run this town, we gonna run this town
We gonna run this town, we gonna run this town
Straight into the goddamn ground, but we gonna run it (Woo)
Gonna get ourselves a friend in the sheriff
I'm gonna learn his mama's name
Get my way into the pocket of the clerics
Lord knows they got a lotta spare change
I been concoctin' a plan that I reckon can
Change the social landscape
We're gonna run this town, we're gonna run this town
We gonna run this town, we gonna run this town
Into the goddamn ground, but we gonna run it
Order brunch with a bunch of fascists
We gonna fast with the activists
Do a dance to court the favor of the masses
'Til we finally get ourselves elected
Yeah, the revolution can be a corporate hand
Of the man if we pick up the language
We're gonna run this town, we're run this town
We're gonna run this town, we gonna run this town
Straight into the goddamn ground, but we gonna run it
