Run This Town Songtext

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
