Let’s Overthrow the Government

By Dallas Denny

Let’s overthrow the government

Stage a little coup

Impeach our stalwart mayor

And swear in me and you

Let’s create some chaos

Bring the bastards down

Let’s overthrow the government

And we will own this town

 

We’ll weave a web of falsehoods

Embellish and imbue

Slander our opponents

And swear we’re speaking true

Bribe and cheat and swindle

Free drinks all around!

Let’s overthrow the government

And we will own this town

 

We’ll use the cops to our own ends

Wield the laws for spite

Cave in to special interests

Rig the traffic lights

Hire all of our cronies

Kickbacks all around

Let’s overthrow the government

And we will own this town

 

We’ll ruin the city’s image

Embezzle all the funds

Bamboozle all the voters

Corrupt the city’s young

Privilege and power

We’ll wear the golden crown

Rascals of the highest sort

‘Till someone takes us down

Rascals of the highest sort

‘Till someone takes us down

Takes us down

Takes us down

Tales is down
