lyrics

We’re gonna start on city council
And then aim for a mayoral seat
Slowly make our way to the county
Until we’ve got a cool majority
I’ve been spending my time designing signs, wearing ties in high profile galleries

we’re gonna run this town into the goddamn ground but we’re gonna run it

We’re gonna get ourselves a friend in the sheriff
I’m gonna learn his momma’s name
Get my way into the pocket of the clerics
Lord knows they got a lot of spare change
Yeah I been concocting a plan that I reckon can change the social landscape

We’re gonna run this town into the goddamn ground but we’re gonna run it

We’re gonna brunch with a bunch of fascists
We’re gonna fast with the activists
Do a dance to court the favor the masses
‘Till we finally get ourselves elected
Yeah the revolution can be a corporate hand of the man if we pick up the language
