Lyrics for Run This Town

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
