This town runs on rumor
And dangerous dialogue
If you need a friend in this old town
Better get yourself a dog
This town will shake your convictions
This town will spare no one
It's real good at making predictions
But nothing ever seems to get done
This town, this town
Talk about palace intrigue
This town, this town
It's totally out of your league
This town, this town
Will drag your name in the dirt
This town, this town
Really knows how to hurt
This town believes in nothing
And nothing's all you'll take away
Party wins out over country
And money rules over the day
This town has no sense of humor
It never could take a joke
This town's a sucker for scandal
It can't see the fire for the smoke
This town, this town
So you go along to get along
This town, this town
Soon you will be singing this song
This town, this town
She's a teaser and she's a flirt
This town, this town
Really knows how to hurt
This town's all about power
And absolute power corrupts
They'll give you the floor for a minute
Till somebody interrupts
No one will take a position
Until they're ahead in the polls
And they won't tolerate opposition, no
That's just the way this town rolls
This town, this town
Her lives are destroyed over lunch
This town, this town
Lord, what a treacherous bunch
This town, this town
It's a killer in a button down shirt
This town, this town
Really knows how to hurt
